Any chance to find out about device type (Argon, Xenon, Photon) at runtime?

At run-time, I think you can only grab the device ID using System.deviceID();. I don't know if you can grab the device type from the OS API. There's a good example of getting device information as a Particle.variable in this post:

What program is in my Photon? Is the filename uploaded to it?

@OdorDecoder, I use a Particle.variable to report some details on what is running on a given device: // This strips the path from the filename #define __FILENAME__ (strrchr(__FILE__, '/') ? strrchr(__FILE__, '/') + 1 : __FILE__) char gDeviceInfo[120]; //adjust size as required void setup() { Particle.variable("deviceInfo",gDeviceInfo); snprintf(gDeviceInfo, sizeof(gDeviceInfo) ,"App: %s, Date: %s, Time: %s, Sysver: %s ,__FILENAME__ ,__DATE__ ,__TI…

As far as knowing the Argon/Xenon/Boron device type, you can do that at compile-time using the example in this post which uses PLATFORM_ID:

Mesh range / external antenna?

There will eventually be a setting to set and save the selected mesh antenna (internal vs. external). However, if you want to play around with it now, you can just copy and paste this function and call it to select the external (u.FL connector) mesh antenna. The setting is not saved. The default is internal. void selectExternalMeshAntenna() { #if (PLATFORM_ID == PLATFORM_ARGON) digitalWrite(ANTSW1, 1); digitalWrite(ANTSW2, 0); #elif (PLATFORM_ID == PLATFORM_BORON) digitalWrite(ANTSW1, 0); #…
