nRF Edge Impulse app is developed in collaboration with Edge Impulse to train and deploy embedded machine learning models on the Nordic Thingy:53 using Edge Impulse Studio. Every Nordic Thingy:53 comes pre-installed with firmware compatible with the nRF Edge Impulse mobile app. The app allows you to upload raw sensor data via your mobile device to the cloud-based Edge Impulse Studio and deploy fully trained ML models to the Nordic Thingy:53 over Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE). The app allows you to choose between existing projects in Edge Impulse studio data or creating a new project and can collect sensor data from the following set of sensors on the Nordic Thingy:53: - Accelerometer - Microphone - Magnetometer - Light - Temperature, Pressure, Humidity and Air quality - Inertial (Accelerometer and Magnetometer) - Light and Environment - Light and Inertial - Environment and Inertial - Light and Environment and Inertial The collected sensor data can be labeled as training or testing data and may be inferenced directly in the app with machine learning model deployed to the Nordic Thingy:53. A free Edge Impulse account, which may created from the app or at www.edgeimpulse.com, is required to connect nRF Edge Impulse with Edge Impulse studio.

The Infineon Cooktop mobile application has been developed for iOS phones by Infineon Technologies as a companion demo for the Smart Induction Cooktop Reference Design (REF-SHA3K3IHWR5SYS) from Infineon. The application can be used with the Smart Induction Cooktop Connectivity Board with the full induction cooktop configuration with Smart Induction Cooktop Inverter and HMI & System Control boards or independently. This application demonstrates controlling and monitoring of the dual hob Smart Induction Cooktop over Bluetooth® LE. User can control individual hob power, auto shutdown timer & induction cooktop features like child safety lock, voice command, pause-resume and favourites options.
