Build, ship and support connected products.

Support the equipment you ship. Give customers their own readings and controls, and give your team the tools to install, investigate and improve the product.

Keep your Linux and application. Start with the agent.

What do you need to do?

Follow one product from installation to support.

SiloSentry is a fictional silo-monitoring product. Its worked example connects the equipment maker’s work to the customer’s daily decision.

Follow the SiloSentry example →
  1. Connect the monitor.

    Your team integrates the sensor reading and assigns the equipment to its customer.

  2. Make the reading useful.

    The customer sees their silo’s level, history and warning in their own application.

  3. Support what you shipped.

    Investigate the sensor or gateway, then check a fresh reading after an intervention.

Illustrative Q&A

How do I connect an LED to the GPIO on my Raspberry Pi CM5?

Lince AI assistant

For a red indicator LED on a carrier using 3.3 V GPIO, add a 330 Ω resistor in series with the LED:

Anode (+) towards the resistor. Cathode (−) to GND.

Power off before wiring. Check your carrier’s pinout and GPIO voltage; CM5 carriers can use 3.3 V or 1.8 V.

Spot the drift. Follow the trend.

See drift spread across your fleet, then track whether it subsides. Pulse highlights devices behaving differently from their peers so you can focus the next investigation.
