For a couple of weeks Myriota Developer Toolkit has been sitting under my desk and today I got some time to setup a device, register it, then upload some data.

The first step was to download and install the Myriota Configurator so I could get the device registration information and install the tracker example application.

After “unblocking” the zip file and upgrading my pip install the install script worked.

The application had to be run from the command line with “python MyriotaConfigurator.py”

On the device I’m using the Tracker sample application to generate some sample payloads.

The next step was to “register” my device and configure the destination(s) for its messages.

Once the device and device manager configuration were sorted, I put the Tracker out on the back lawn on top of a large flowerpot.

On the “Access Times” page I could see that there were several periods when a satellite was overhead and overnight a couple of messages were uploaded.
