Hi @vk11112003vk,

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you.
To connect a Bolt IoT WiFi module to AWS IoT Core, you’ll need to follow several steps, including setting up an AWS IoT Core account, configuring the Bolt IoT WiFi module, and setting up AWS IoT Core to receive and manage data from the Bolt IoT device. Here’s a high-level guide to help you get started:

  1. Create an AWS IoT Core Account:
  • Go to the AWS IoT Core console and create a new account or log in if you already have one.
  1. Create a Thing in AWS IoT Core:
  • In the AWS IoT Core console, create a “thing” representing your Bolt IoT device.
  1. Generate Certificates and Policies:
  • Generate an X.509 certificate and private key for your Bolt IoT device.
  • Create a policy that defines permissions for the IoT device to publish and subscribe to specific topics.
  1. Configure Bolt IoT WiFi Module:
  • Access the Bolt IoT Cloud dashboard and retrieve the necessary credentials (Device ID, API Key, and Device Key).
#include <BoltWiFi.h>

#define WIFI_SSID "YourWiFiSSID"
#define WIFI_PASSWORD "YourWiFiPassword"

void setup() {
  // Initialize Bolt WiFi module
  BoltWiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD);

  // Configure Bolt Cloud credentials
  BoltWiFi.configDevice("YOUR_DEVICE_ID", "YOUR_API_KEY", "YOUR_DEVICE_KEY");
}

void loop() {
  // Your main code here
}
  • Configure the Bolt IoT WiFi module with the credentials obtained from the Bolt IoT Cloud.
  1. Configure the AWS IoT SDK on Bolt IoT Device:
  • Install the AWS IoT Device SDK on your Bolt IoT device to facilitate communication with AWS IoT Core.
  • Configure the SDK with the generated certificate, private key, endpoint, and other relevant information.
  1. Connect Bolt IoT Device to AWS IoT Core:
  • Use the AWS SDK to establish a secure MQTT connection between the Bolt IoT device and AWS IoT Core using the credentials and endpoint.
  1. Publish and Subscribe to Topics:
  • Set up your Bolt IoT device to publish data to specific topics on AWS IoT Core.
  • Configure AWS IoT Core to subscribe to these topics and perform actions based on the received data.
void loop() {
  // Connect to AWS IoT Core
  if (!thingShadow.connect()) {
    Serial.println("Failed to connect to AWS IoT Core");
    delay(5000);
    return;
  }

  // Publish data to a topic
  const char *topic = "$aws/things/your-thing-name/shadow/update";
  const char *payload = "{\"state\": {\"reported\": {\"temperature\": 25.5}}}";

  thingShadow.publish(topic, payload);

  delay(5000);  // Publish data every 5 seconds
}
  1. Monitor and Manage Devices:
  • Use AWS IoT Core console to monitor and manage the connected Bolt IoT device, view messages, and set up rules for data processing.

Please refer to the official documentation for both Bolt IoT and AWS IoT Core for detailed instructions and code examples for each step. Make sure to properly secure your credentials and follow best practices for IoT device security.
