This is such a noobie question, but I have my first Boron / hardware, and I’m beginningto look at what language Boron uses. I found in some obscure documentation page that it uses “Wiring” language, but that’s based on C++? Basically, I’m looking for 2 things:
- Confirmation on what language(s) Boron/Particle uses in its programs.
- A good resource to begin learning the language. This is not my industry and I’m not sure of the best resources to go to learn these particular languages
.
Any advice from more knowledgeable people would be helpful! Thank you.
Yup, Wiring is a language based on C++. But you won’t find much under that name because it’s more widely known as the language popularized (invented by?) Arduino.
Check out basic Arduino tutorials here: https://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/HomePage?from=Main.Tutorials
If you go to https://build.particle.io/build/new, you can find some specific Arduino examples for the Particle hardware.
Almost 100% of Arduino-based code will work on Particle. Enjoy!

Thank you! I’m sure I’ll have much more questions. I tried doing a “blink LED” example but it turned out I didn’t have the resistors hooked up to the boron / breadboard, so I’m guessing that’s why it didn’t work
