I'm a newbie in working with the Thingsboard IOT platform.
How to integrate Lora server with the Thingsboard platform?
Give me step by step instructions, please.
There are guides "Connect LoRaWAN devices using TheThingsNetwork" and "Connect LoRaWAN devices using Actility ThingPark".
Maybe these ones help you.

What devices do you use for production implementation of IOT central?
I want some kind of off the shelf, robust device (such as a temperature sensor) to put out in the field. IOT central tutorials appear to focus on POC toys, like Ardiuno and Rasberry Pi.
What is the normal approach to real-life implementations? Is the best approach to find IOT devices that allow you to import C code and use the SDK to connect? If so, where do you find such devices?
A good starting point to find a device is to use the Azure IoT Device Catalog.
I am developing a project based on IoT and Cloud Analytics.I want a hardware in which GPS, GSM/GPRS Module and a button can be integrated. On pressing button it will send location to website hosted on Cloud through GSM/GPRS Module. This is what i have in my mind.
I might use Azure and Windows 10 for development. Please help me to buy a cheap hardware which can handle all this efficiently. Just tell me a list of Hardware eligible for my project so that i can purchase according to my budget.
If there is any other OS, IDE ,Cloud or any specific thing which i should target then do tell me.
Thank you
I'm suggesting you to check on Raspberry Pi and Arduino Uno. These are two widely used development board, which has a wide range support for sensors/shields, and enables you to develop your prototype product with real ease.
You can either choose Linux or Windows IoT as your embedded OS, depending on your personal taste. Raspberry Pi is officially supported by Windows 10 IoT, and by nature, it should have better support for Microsoft Azure.
You can find a compatible hardware for windows IoT in here.
Arduino Uno, on the other hand, should be easy integrated with various development boards/shields, GPS and GPRS modules included.
Also, there's a "Arduino Remote" project available which enables you to connect to arduino devices easily. You can find a tutorial from here.
I hope it helps.
Is it possible to send an ASCII code on an external device through USB port using IOS API? I assume that it is possible through bluetooth connection, but I'm not sure through USB connector. Any thoughts?
I would appreciate if someone could put me in the right direction.
Thanking you in advance
That largely depends on the level of sophistication of this "external device". If this external device is just a bare metal embedded device without some sort of operating system you definitely need MFI.
Otherwise, you can run a usbmuxd server (e.g. on Raspberry PI with Linux) to establish a connection via USB. Usbmuxd is basically the technology that Apple uses to communicate between iOS devices and Desktop apps such as iTunes or Xcode. And yes, it is App Store compliant, e.g., Duet Display uses this approach to make an iPad a secondary display for your Desktop via USB.
There are several open source libraries that provide a high level API, e.g., PeerTalk or DarkLightning.
I am very new to iOS development. I want to communicate with RN52 chip over Bluetooth through my iOS app using Serial Port Communication. Can any one tell me how to implement this? Or is their any tutorial which will help me?
Do I need MFi certificate for this?
I recently had a look at an excellent blog for using MQTT over Android. I am new to MQTT, and for understanding the concepts, I want to use MQTT services on Blackberry. Is there a good explanation of how MQTT works... a J2ME/ blackberry implementation will be easy to understand for me.
Thanks !
There's a brief description of some of the concepts behind mqtt at http://mosquitto.org/man/mqtt-7.html
The presentation at http://www.slideshare.net/andysc/the-house-that-twitters also contains explanations from more of an applications viewpoint.
As for J2ME - the IBM ia92 package linked from http://mqtt.org/software contains a J2ME component with API docs and example, but not the implementation code.
Lastly, the MQTT spec is linked to on http://mqtt.org/documentation so you can always look there for more details.
IBM released Cordova MQTT plugin and source for Android via developerworks that wraps the Eclipse Paho mqtt java client (also IBM contributed). If you're creating mobile apps then doing HTML5/javascript hybrid apps in Cordova (f.k.a. PhoneGap) with an MQTT plugin is a good to go. On Android (i.e. BB playbook) there is this one. For other platforms, using Eclipse Paho to create a plugin for Cordova on BB shouldn't be hard. For example I have Cordova/Worklight apps with MQTT plugin using the Eclipse Paho C client on my iPhone.
here is the MQTT plugin for Android:

MQTT is compelling for mobile apps. Benchmarking done on Android showed that MQTT has 93x higher throughput, 1/10th batter use per message sent and uses 1/8th the bandwidth vs HTTPS. This is probably why Facebook Messenger uses MQTT. http://stephendnicholas.com/archives/1217
btw, If you do develop HTML5/javascript hybrid mobile apps with Cordova, IBM Worklight has a cross-platform WYSIWYG mobile developer IDE, strong security, unified push notification engine, online/offline support, etc. And Cordova is built-in.
