About PARTICLE
Everything you need to power your IoT product, from device to cloud
The particle offers an all-in-one IoT device-to-cloud platform that works out of the box. Particle helps to get your first prototype up and running in minutes with easy-to-use, affordable, and open source hardware development kits.
Building an IoT product starts with getting your device online and Particle makes this easy because all the hardware are designed to get your device connected in minutes – over Wi-Fi, cellular (2G/3G/LTE), or mesh. Particle cloud-connected microcontrollers are powered by Device OS – a lightweight operating system for embedded IoT devices. Particle platform offers a complete network infrastructure designed for IoT. Networking, protocols, security, and even a SIM card - everything you need is all built in.
And when you're ready to scale up, Particle industrial-grade connectivity modules are scalable, secure, reliable, and fully-certified IoT device platform aims to make the Internet of Things easy and accessible.
Common Features:
- ARM Cortex-M4F 32-bit processor @ 64MHz
- 1MB flash, 256KB RAM
- 20 mixed signal GPIO (6 x Analog, 8 x PWM), UART, I2C, SPI
- Micro USB 2.0 full speed (12 Mbps)
- JTAG (SWD) Connector
- RGB status LED
- Reset and Mode buttons
- U.FL connector for external antenna
Photon - WiFi
It's easy to use, it's powerful, and it's connected to the cloud. The board itself uses a Cypress Wi-Fi chip (one that can be found in Nest Protect, LIFX, and Amazon Dash) alongside a powerful STM32 ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller. It's like the Spark Core. But better.
Electron - 3G/2G
The Electron 3G Kit is a tiny development kit for creating 3G cellular-connected electronics projects and products. It comes with a Particle SIM card with service in more than 100 countries worldwide.
Argon - WiFi Mesh
A Wi-Fi enabled development board that can act as either a standalone Wi-Fi endpoint or Wi-Fi enabled gateway for Particle Mesh networks. It is based on the Nordic nRF52840 and has built-in battery charging circuitry so it’s easy to connect a Li-Po and deploy your local network in minutes.
Boron - LTE/3G/2G Mesh
A powerful LTE CAT-M1/NB1 enabled development kit that can act as either a standalone cellular endpoint or LTE/3G/2G enabled gateway for Particle Mesh networks. It is based on the Nordic nRF52840 and has built-in battery charging circuitry so it’s easy to connect a Li-Po and deploy your local network in minutes.
Xenon - Mesh BLE Node
The Xenon is a low cost mesh-enabled development board that can act as either an endpoint or repeater within a Particle Mesh network.
