The Particle Platform

Particle —previously Spark— specialises in Internet-capable boards, with a all-in-one solution that includes hardware, software and also cloud services. 

  • For WiFi, the first board was the Core, updated with the Photon.
  • For GSM, the Electron uses 2G or 3G.

Particle supplies the hardware, the software tools and also the services on cloud. 

The services include an online IDE, upload through Internet, connectors to providers like IFTTT, and an integrated IoT solution called Dashboard.
