- Cyranix 12y agoCongrats on what seems like a very warm reception on HN! Can you provide a little more clarity on what the Photon Kit listed in the store consists of? The short description says "several sensors" and the description in the modal is even more vague with "a couple of extra surprises".
- BDub1 12y ago@Cyranix these "several sensors" are kind of bonus items so please trust that they will be a sweet surprise ;-)
- steffan 12y agoCongrats on the launch! Any idea whether there is or will be support for IPv6 on the Photon? Particularly for this sort of device, I think it is important to have that support.
- Florin_Andrei 12y agoGood job, y'all. Small, powerful, well connected, convenient to use. I think there's a chance you'll hit it out the ballpark. What you need now is shields, lots of shields, and libraries, lots of libraries. For Arduino there's a library for any sensor under the sun - you'll have to try and cover at least the most popular things out there. You know what's missing from the site? As a long-time Arduino user, I've learned the value of knowing in advance, very clearly, the number of digital and analog inputs and outputs on any device I plan to use. E.g., right now I'm wrestling an Arduino Mini, trying to fit all the digital pins I need for the OLED display, the tachometer sensors, the temperature and humidity sensor, and the various LEDs and control buses. It's probably gonna work, but it's a close race. I'm sure that information is available somewhere for your device, it just didn't jump at me when I looked at the site. Maybe you should make it a bit more prominent.
- hcarvalhoalves 12y agoHow do you achieve such a price with onboard WiFi, when the Arduino WiFi shields alone run for a lot more? I had a project in mind but the cost of WiFi for Arduino made it not viable.
