# Particle
|
|
|
|
The Particle Photon and Particle Electron are connected microcontrollers from Particle (http://particle.io), the company formerly known as Spark Devices. The Photon uses a Wi-Fi connection to the Particle cloud, and the Electron uses a 3G wireless connection. Once the Photon or Electron connects to the network, it automatically connects with a central server (the "Particle Cloud") and stays connected so it can be controlled from external systems, such as a Gobot program. To run Gobot programs please make sure you are running default Tinker firmware on the Photon or Electron.

## How to Install
|
|
|
|
Installing Gobot with Particle support is pretty easy.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
go get -d -u gobot.io/x/gobot/... && go install gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/particle
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How to Use
|
|
|
|
```go
|
|
package main
|
|
|
|
import (
|
|
"time"
|
|
|
|
"gobot.io/x/gobot"
|
|
"gobot.io/x/gobot/drivers/gpio"
|
|
"gobot.io/x/gobot/platforms/particle"
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
func main() {
|
|
core := particle.NewAdaptor("device_id", "access_token")
|
|
led := gpio.NewLedDriver(core, "D7")
|
|
|
|
work := func() {
|
|
gobot.Every(1*time.Second, func() {
|
|
led.Toggle()
|
|
})
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
robot := gobot.NewRobot("spark",
|
|
[]gobot.Connection{core},
|
|
[]gobot.Device{led},
|
|
work,
|
|
)
|
|
|
|
robot.Start()
|
|
}
|
|
```
