Raspberry Pi 4 and an Azure Sphere Guardian Module integration

Question

Hello everyone. I am trying to configure two-way communication between my Raspberry Pi 4 and an Azure Sphere Guardian Module. The Raspberry Pi 4 will do all the compute, hold local storage and will use the Azure Sphere Guardian Module to securely transmit its data to Azure IoT or Azure IoT Central. Does anyone have an existing project I can try to follow to set this up?

I already set up communication between the Raspberry Pi and Azure IoT directly, but this project needs to have the strictest security setup, so I am using the Azure Sphere Guardian Module to handle the security and communication. I am not sure if it is feasible, but if it is possible to get communication between my Raspberry Pi 4 and an Azure Sphere Guardian Module using either a directly wired ethernet cable or USB connection, it should be only a matter of plugging in common cables. However, I am not sure where to begin with respect to the code. Thoughts, suggestions, ideas?

The Azure Guardians are pretty much a firewall that allows only Azure traffic. All you need to do is plug it into your Raspberry Pi, ensure DHCP is configured and you should be good to go.

As far as the code goes. Start here:
