Hi there and welcome to Blues Wireless DevNews!

It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks here at Blues Wireless as we introduced the Wi-Fi Notecard (which also won an award at CES) AND launched a private beta of our LoRa-based Sparrow.

I’m not sure how to follow that news! But we also have an ML thermal imaging project 🔥, a Pi Day announcement 🥧, and some Notecard firmware updates to share.

Introducing Wi-Fi Notecard

Fully swappable and API-compatible with the Cellular Notecard, we are happy to announce immediate availability of the Wi-Fi Notecard. Secure, low-power…and the black PCB takes it to 💯.

ML Anomaly Detection

Rob Lauer shows how easy it can be to create an “anomaly detection” ML model with Edge Impulse and send generated inferences to the cloud with a Notecard.

Sparrow Private Beta

Sparrow is a LoRa-based solution that enables you to deploy numerous low-cost sensors with a single Wi-Fi or Cellular Notecard gateway for backhaul of sensor data. Register to purchase a dev kit!
