I love Particle DEV, can it be used to program MESH devices or is the new Microsoft Workbench integration the only way to do this not outside of the Build IDE?
Sorry, I obviously misunderstood some statement from Will that was not in response to my question but someone else’s and hence I jumped to the wrong conclusion.
Currently there are no immediate plans to enable Desktop IDE (Particle Dev) for mesh, but rather focus on Particle Workbench an add support there - which makes a lot more sense anyway (after thinking about it).
Particle is aware of this and has planned on updating for Desktop IDE next sprint (as time allows).
