Can I use particle xenon as a stand-alone?

I have Particle Xenon but I’m not planning to use mesh and just want the BLE, can I use this board as a stand-alone?

Yes, however:

  • You cannot claim the device to your account, however it will still work.
  • You will only be able to program it over USB, not over-the-air.
  • Be sure to update it over USB first using the CLI:
particle update
  • Make sure you are using:
SYSTEM_MODE(MANUAL);
  • Be sure to turn BLE on in setup():
void setup() {
    BLE.on();
}
