Amazon Sidewalk

[John Spikowski]

I was just notified by the Amazon Sidewalk support group that my test kit is on the way. Time to dust off my RPi's and brush up on the GPIO bus.

I may become more active on the forum once my test kit arrives.

Sensor Controller Studio is used to write, test and debug code for the CC26xx/CC13xx Sensor Controller, enabling ultra-low power application design. The tool generates an interface driver consisting of C source files with the firmware image, associated definitions, and generic functions that allow the System CPU application to control the Sensor Controller and exchange data.

I received my Amazon Sidewalk test kit on Monday. The test kit shows bridge devices (Alexa / Ring doorbells) in my area. (green dots) I'm just getting started looking at the developer API. The test kit device is about the size of a Bic lighter. The idea is to take it with you when you drive around to see the Sidewalk network connectivity.
