Any Demo Boards for the Particle P1 out there for sale?

@lige I’m interested.

@lige Can you post some pictures of what the board looks like? Like do you have any board renderings or 3D renderings from your CAD software?

Did you make it in Eagle or something else?

I like how your saying you laid it out.

I’m waiting to get my boards back to make sure everything works. I would probably be okay with posting photos and details at that point. Just think of it as a bigger Photon, slightly longer and wider. :smile:

Hey folks! Awesome conversation. Just wanted to clarify that the current P1s being sold are still programmed with our original factory image for the Photon/P0/P1.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a public release of our original factory image, because there were confidential elements of Broadcom’s WICED stack still baked in at that point. Since that moment of firmware lockdown, we’ve worked with Broadcom to get the repository to a point where we can continue with open firmware development on their WICED platform.

Once we do another run of P1s, however, we’ll update to the most recent version of open-source firmware!

@lige, I’d be interested :grinning:

Thank you!

I would like power supply included. Would you mind sharing your design?

@will
Can I replace that firmware with the latest version using JTAG exposed in my board?

@will So what does that actually mean? Does it mean I will not be able to put data on the extra flash via the CLI?

What will change when the new P1 firmware is ready?

You can but you’ll squash the P1’s server/client keys (trust me, I know) and there is no way to flash new keys (at least via JTAG). Once you flash you’ll get a key-mismatch error (flashing cyan with red/orange) which can be fixed with a quick email to hello@particle.io (just tell us what is happening, that you don’t have access to DFU, and you need your keys reset).

Ok. So what about creating new keys in the cli, and then flashing the keys to the p1, and sending the keys to the server via de cli? Is that feasible?

You can’t transfer them to the device via JTAG so if you have no USB interface you are hosed. My suggestion would be to put 4 test points (or small vias) for USB and build an adapter board with Pogo pins (https://www.adafruit.com/products/394) or a really small header OR just pads you solder to if this is low volume.

Thank you.. Excellent point.. I think that leaving pads to solder usb connector is wise :blush:

Yes. Take it from me who didn’t do that and now has to re-work a board :frowning:

O.o. Take a look at these cool things: http://www.adafruit.com/product/2458 (clips for holding your project board down on the pogo pins)

Note taken!

We have a platform that extends the P1 and Photon (and should be Electron compatible) to be a wireless sensor hub. We have a PCB and our code available on Git Hub

We’re looking for other people to get involved. We’re just now finishing up the installation and users guide. The only downside now is that you have to order the PCBs in sets of three, but for only $10 each. I’ve got two of these running in two different locations. My buddy Bob has one running at his house as well.

Hello. Thank you.

I didn’t find the board schematic or PCB design. Can you provide it?

@JSchrempp Let’s see what ya got cooking :slight_smile:

Here’s a link to the PCB on OSHPark. https://oshpark.com/shared_projects/ptHf88wY

This is what the assembled project looks like:

We’re working to get the documentation and parts list out on GitHub. You can see the Firmware on GitHub now.

You can get a peek at the configuration website at http://shrimpware.com/SIS The code for the config website is also on GitHub in the folder Website.

This is based on the photon… Not the p1 right ??
