ANX Labs ships a curated library of example applications designed to help you learn the platform, explore the SDK, and jumpstart your own projects. Each example is self-contained, fully annotated, and runnable with a single command — so you can go from unboxing to a working demo in minutes.

​
Accessing the Examples

You can access all examples by cloning the official repository and using the anx run command. The examples repo contains the complete source code, a config.json template, and any required assets for each project.
To browse every available example without opening a browser, use the CLI list command:

​
Example Categories

Each example targets a specific area of the ANX SDK. Start with Blinky if this is your first time on the platform, then work your way through the categories that match your project needs.

Blinky

The canonical first program for any hardware platform. Blink the onboard LED and confirm your toolchain is correctly set up.

Sensor Data

Read analog values over ADC and temperature/humidity data over I2C. Log readings to the serial monitor in real time.

Connectivity

Connect to Wi-Fi and publish sensor readings to an MQTT broker over TLS — the foundation for any cloud-connected IoT project.

More Examples

Additional examples are in active development. See the note below for what’s coming next.
Three more example categories are on the way and will be added to this library soon:
  • BLE Beacon — Advertise custom BLE packets and scan for nearby devices using the ANX BLE stack.
  • PWM Motor Control — Drive DC motors and servos using the hardware PWM peripheral.
  • File System — Read and write files to the onboard flash file system using the ANX FS API.
Watch the ANX Labs GitHub repository for releases.

​
Running Any Example

Every example in the library follows the same workflow. Use these steps as your starting point regardless of which example you choose to run.
1

Get the example source

Clone the full repository or fetch only the example you need:
2

Edit config.json for your environment

Open the config.json file inside the example directory and fill in any environment-specific values such as Wi-Fi credentials, MQTT broker details, or pin assignments:
Examples that don’t require network access (such as Blinky) ship with a minimal config.json that needs no changes.
3

Flash the application

Build and flash the example to your connected ANX dev module with one command:
The CLI automatically detects the connected module over USB, compiles the application, and flashes the firmware image.
4

Open the serial monitor

Once the module resets after flashing, open the serial monitor to view log output and confirm the example is running:
Press Ctrl+C to exit the monitor at any time.
