Description
Note: Breadboard and USB cable are not included.The Particle Argon is a powerful Wi-Fi enabled development board that combines the two most favorite 2.4GHz wireless protocols: Mesh networking and Wi-Fi. The board is designed to act as a standalone Wi-Fi endpoint or a Wi-Fi enabled gateway for a Particle Mesh network.
Argon is very small, you can easily cover it with one hand. It adopts the Nordic nRF52840 processor that can provide excellent performance in complicated applications. Meanwhile, Argon is equipped with large-capacity Flash, RAM and peripherals, including native USB support, and also has built-in battery charging circuitry so it’s easy to connect a Li-Po. You can deploy your local network in minutes! The Argon is great for connecting existing projects to the Particle Device Cloud or as a gateway to connect an entire group of local endpoints.
