Chirp and Microsoft solve painful IoT provisioning

Connecting smart devices to a Wi-Fi network is frustrating and labour-intensive, often taking several minutes per smart device. That’s why we’ve been collaborating with Microsoft to create a quick, seamless and pain-free provisioning process to connect devices to Wi-Fi and the Azure Cloud. With our guide and open-source examples, you can even add one-Chirp provisioning to your own IoT ecosystem.

Chirp SDK for Arm Cortex-M

We are happy to announce the public launch of the Chirp SDK for the Arm Cortex-M embedded processor range, a powerful and cost-effective way to integrate seamless connectivity into your IoT devices. Data-over-sound has never before been available for Arm chips, and it opens up vistas of new possibilities: seamless provisioning, zero-config M2M connectivity, proximity-sensitive smart objects… What will you build with it?

Download the Arm SDK from the Chirp developer hub.
A tutorial is available in the readme

Friction-free peer-to-peer payments with Chirp + PayPal

We’ve been hard at work expanding our Chirp+ integration guides. Hot off the press is Chirp + PayPal, a easy way to enable peer-to-peer payments to anybody within hearing range.

On the same theme, we’ve also updated our Alexa guide so you can onboard any device.

Chirp develop a wide range of developer friendly data-over-sound SDKs, allowing devices to seamlessly convert information into sound, transmit it to nearby devices, which they then convert back into the original data — this whole interaction can take place offline. To learn more visit Chirp.io
