Functionaldescription
Particle'sInternetofThingshardwaredevelopmentkit,thePhoton,provideseverythingyouneed
tobuildaconnectedproduct.ParticlecombinesapowerfulARMCortexM3micro-controllerwitha
BroadcomWi-Fichipinatinythumbnail-sizedmodulecalledthePØ(P-zero).
Togetyoustartedquickly,Particleaddsarocksolid3.3VDCSMPSpowersupply,RFanduser
interfacecomponentstothePØonasmallsingle-sidedPCBcalledthePhoton.Thedesignisopen
source,sowhenyou'rereadytointegratethePhotonintoyourproduct,youcan.
ThePhotoncomesintwophysicalforms:withheadersandwithout.Prototypingiseasywith
headersasthePhotonplugsdirectlyintostandardbreadboardsandperfboards,andmayalsobe
mountedwith0.1"pitchfemaleheadersonaPCB.Tominimizespacerequired,thePhotonform
factorwithoutheadershascastellatededges.ThesemakeitpossibletosurfacemountthePhoton
directlyontoyourPCB.
