Here's the Photon itself:store.particle.io/#photon
and the development tool: build.particle.io
Wanted to do a quick intro to my new favorite variation on the popular Arduino platform. This chip has built in WiFi, and the company that makes it provides all the tools you need to work with it via your web browser.
Makes it much simpler than the average Arduino setup to get started, and also to keep your controller updated with new software, since you don't have to plug it into your computer.
This is just the intro. The project which leverages the Photon to do something useful is going to be a Part 2 in the near future.
This is not a paid endorsement. Particle has no idea I'm even making the video, and I bought the Photons myself.
