Today we’re announcing two new accelerators are available:

• The Lightning Detector project lets you detect lightning strikes up to 40 km away, and send the detections to the cloud via a cellular connection.
• The Cellular Speed Radar and Camera project lets you detect speeding cars with a speed radar module and camera, and publish the speed and timestamps for these events to the cloud.

Additionally, the accelerators page now includes new categories and filters. You can use those filters to find the next project you want to build, or to find reference implementations of Notecard or Notehub features.

Learn about all the accelerators at blues.dev/accelerators.

Today we’re announcing three new accelerators are available:

• The Car Detector project lets you detect passing cars with a camera, and publish reports to the cloud via a cellular connection.
• The Cold Chain Monitor shows you how to monitor a medication, and send SMS messages for alert conditions, such as high temperature
• The Water Quality Monitor project helps you collect water quality metrics from various sensors, and upload them to the cloud at a configurable interval.

Check them out! And view the full list of Blues accelerators at blues.dev/accelerators.

Today we’re announcing five new fully documented reference applications:

• Greenhouse Monitor: Monitor ambient light, ambient temperature, soil moisture, and soil temperature within a greenhouse.
• Emergency Vehicle Lights Monitor: Monitor the activation of emergency vehicle lights and report vehicle location.
• Cellular Modbus Client: Send requests and receive responses from Modbus servers via cellular.
• Vending Machine Monitor: Monitor inventory and detect power failures in a vending machine.
• Heat Index Monitor: Monitor temperature, humidity, and heat index in an outdoor location.

Check them out, as well as the rest of our accelerators, and if you have any questions feel free to reach out in our forum.

Today we’re announcing two new accelerators are available:

• The Cellular-Connected Electronic Kiosk shows you how to use a Raspberry Pi, a Notecarrier-Pi, and a Notehub to remotely manage and update content on a kiosk—without having to rely on a connection to a facility Wi-Fi network.
• The Audio Classifier shows you how to recognize audio patterns using an off-the-shelf microphone, the Notecard, and on-device machine learning.

Today we released our first batch of app accelerators, and they’re available for you to check out and use at blues.dev/accelerators.

Accelerators are fully documented reference applications for assembling Notecard- and Notehub-powered solutions. Each accelerator provides a complete walkthrough, includes a full list of the hardware you need, and is free to copy, fork, and build upon. Check them out!
