Looking for Particle-based PCBs or ideas
for your home or other project?
for your home or other project?
Over the last several years, I have built many connected electronic devices to automate things around my home, for my audio hobby, or just devices for friends. Some are just assembled PCB’s, some are complete assemblies with enclosures and transformers. Most of them use the Particle Photon or Electron as their connected brain.
This website provides documentation for three of these DIY efforts, either in the form of files on this site, or links to files and documentation on other sites.
Currently, precipiSTATION PCBs/kits are available on Tindie (links to be inserted here once I have them). All are of the “use at your own risk” type as they are neither UL nor FCC certified, and are not RoHS compliant (they use leaded solder). Some may even contain dangerous or lethal DC or AC voltages. Purchase only if you are aware of these risks and have sufficient skill to handle them.
I have invested a fair amount of time in the documentation of these boards and devices but I am sure there will be an error or three (or more) lurking somewhere and there are still feature refinements that could be made. Please let me know by sending me an email here if something does not download or does not work and I will try to rectify. I will also try to answer some questions but I don't have a lot of free time so may not be as quick as you may like.
