Particle Photon

The Particle Photon is a tiny Wi-Fi development kit for creating connected projects and products for the Internet of Things. It’s like an Arduino with WIFI Shield, It’s easy to use, it’s powerful, and it’s connected to the cloud.

The tools that make up the Photon’s ecosystem are designed to let you build and create whether you’re an embedded engineer, web developer, Arduino enthusiast or IoT entrepreneur. You’ll be able to write your firmware in our web or local IDE, deploy it over the air, and build your web and mobile apps with ParticleJS and our Mobile SDK.

The Particle Photon uses a Broadcom Wi-Fi chip (one that can be found in Nest Protect, LIFX, and Amazon Dash) alongside a powerful STM32 ARM Cortex M3 microcontroller.

We have an available Starter kit for the Particle Photon.
