I’m attempting to have two Argon’s talk to each other via their micro-usb ports with a OTG cable (micro-usb on both ends). Is this something that is supported? ---

USB OTG is not supported on any Particle devices, including the Argon. It’s usually better to connect two Particle devices using I2C, UART serial, or SPI rather than USB by wire, or Argons by Wi-Fi or BLE wirelessly. ---

Ok, I’m now working on having them communicate over i2c but experiencing problems there as well. Is there a good example of device to device communication via i2c? I just need to send a simple string for now. ---
