Avnet /IOTCONNECT Snap – Example Applications

This repository contains working example applications for the Avnet iotconnect Snap, which bundles the /IOTCONNECT Python Lite SDK and REST CLI into a single, portable package for Linux systems that support Snapcraft.

Use these examples to:

• Onboard devices to /IOTCONNECT using the iotconnect Snap.
• Send and receive telemetry and commands.
• Stream custom telemetry from external applications via a UNIX socket.
• Experiment with OTA-delivered models and scripts in the Snap’s persistent data area.

The catalog is designed to grow over time as new boards and suppliers are validated.
