The Particle Shield Shield converts the footprint and pins of your Photon into that of an Arduino, allowing for use of existing Arduino shields and accessories. This shield converts the pin mapping of the Photon to the Arduino pin layout and provides a voltage translation of 3.3V to/from 5V. Note that Arduino libraries are not necessarily going to work without some porting, but for many basic shields that do not depend on the specific Arduino...

The Particle Photon Kit includes a Photon with headers, a shiny white half-size solderless breadboard, a USB-micro cable, and a couple of extra surprises (two resistors, an LED, and a photocell) to help you start building your Internet of Things projects right away. Your Particle Photon comes with access to the Particle Cloud, a free cloud service. The Particle Cloud has some great features for building connected projects, including over-the-air...

The Particle Maker Kit has just about everything you need to get started with your Particle Photon.  It's the kind of no nonsense starter kit that's filled with all the components and accessories you need to build simple internet enabled projects and up your hacker level from zero to hardware hero. This kit also includes a pretty nifty carrying case that you can tidy up your projects with and keep displayed on your workbench. Kit...

The new and improved Programmer Shield is essentially a USB-JTAG converter that gives advanced users complete access to the Photon's memory space. It supports openOCD and the WICED SDK, and is built around the FT2232H high speed USB FIFO. Unlike the previous Programmer Shield, it is fully standalone and requires no third-party programmers. In addition to providing a JTAG interface, this shield can also act as a USB to Serial converter. You...

Make something happen on the internet.  We're not talking about putting up a video of your daschund standing on a vacuum cleaner and hoping that it will go viral.  We're talking about pressing a big, rewarding button and having your Photon order a pizza, text a loved one, or dial your missing phone. The Internet Button from Particle has four pre-soldered buttons that can interact with the Internet via the...

Add some dazzle to your Spark Core or Photon with this custom-made NeoPixel ring kit! 24 ultra bright smart LED NeoPixels are arranged in a circle with 2.6" (66mm) outer diameter. Snap in your Spark and upload the NeoPixel library code to light up the LEDs, make an Internet of Blinky! Each LED is addressable as the driver chip is inside the LED. Each one has ~18mA constant current drive so the color will be very consistent even if the voltage...

This RF adapter cable is super handy for anyone doing RF work. Often times, small electronics save space by having a pick-and-placeable u.FL connector (also called uFL, IPEX, IPAX, IPX, MHF, and AM). But most antennas have SMA or RP-SMA connectors on them. This little cable will bridge the two! This cable is RG178 and is 15cm (5.9") long not including the RP-SMA connector. It has a panel-mount RP-SMA connector on the end, often used for...

This 4" / 100mm long flexible uFL 2.4GHz antenna has approx 4DBi gain and a 50Ω impedance so it will work fantastically with just about any 2.4-2.5GHz wireless receiver/transmitter such as the Adafruit CC3000s! Antenna comes with a uFL (a.k.a u.FL / IPX / IPEX) connector, so no more need for additional adapters to get your IoT cloud flying high!

This 8"/200mm long swivel dipole antenna has 5dBi of gain and 50Ω impedance so it will work fantastically with just about any 2.4-2.5GHz wireless receiver/transmitter such as: 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) 2.4GHz XBee Bluetooth Other 2.4GHz transceivers Antenna comes with the industry standard RP-SMA connector that is found on nearly all WiFi devices. If you need to connect this to a SMA connector, use this handy adapter and if you need...

This 4"/100mm long swivel dipole antenna has 2dBi of gain and 50Ω impedance so it will work fantastically with just about any 2.4-2.5GHz wireless receiver/transmitter such as: 2.4GHz Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n) 2.4GHz XBee Bluetooth Other 2.4GHz transceivers Antenna comes with the industry standard RP-SMA connector that is found on nearly all WiFi devices.
