High School Robotics Course using the Particle.io Mesh Devices Blog I am updating my High School Robotics course that uses the Photon and Raspberry PI3 to include the Particle.io Mesh Devices. I might as well Blog about the experience and tweet about it on twitter using @rocksetta Note: I have tau…

I started writing this blog at a different spot. Oops. So a student showed me an easy way to login to our school network, without the normal user and password.:grinning: So I got an Argon working as the network gateway and am attaching Xenons to it. The setup for Xenons is a bit faster than for Ar…

People need to have a look at this page https://community.particle.io/u?period=all and click on the heading titles. To put things into perspective I started with the Spark Core about 4 years ago and only have 253 Likes. Check out these other forum users. @ScruffR 8,900 Likes @peekay123 6,00…

I have done a few other posts [image] Argon to Argon Mesh Setup Troubleshooting Can we get some Manager or other Particle people on this thread? @will @zachary @zach @avidan @rickkas7 @KyleG @AndyW Multiple Argon Mesh ability is really needed as per this in the pr…

I am not really very good at giving up. :smirk: I tried the Ethernet Featherwing at home and realized that it was not being used at all for installing the OS update that was all from my phone using Wfif and Bluetooth. However the Featherwing worked great at home. The Xenon connected to it and was v…

I finally got my pre-order batch. I think i need to re-flash my PartiBadge (slow-blinking blue mode LED, never gets to breathing -cyan nor fast-blink green), but my other in the ether-dock is breathing cyan just fine. Now time to see if my sketch can get status of the mesh, and any idea of the mesh…

Made a new topic here [image] Using Particle Mesh Devices with the OpenThread Border Router BLE // NFC I am trying to use my Raspberry PI3 and/or Linux laptop as an Open Thread Border Router , to connect my particle devices together, but the online examples are all for dev…

Still testing connection distances with the mesh devices. Here is what the students did today. We can’t just walk the 60 m outside and expect the outside Xenon to get a connection with my Argon in the window, but we could use several Xenons at 25 m intervals inside to get the outside Xenon to have…

This is without antennas connected to the Xenon’s right?

So much rides on obstructions. The Xbee 900 products use a lower (915MHz) frequency which has much better penetration. Newer mesh products use 2.4GHz which is more susceptible to obstructions and interference from other devices in the same band. This is why WiFi meshed routers are becoming popula…

Big surprise. I just flashed some code to the Xenon which seemed to stop it from connecting to my Mesh. Was about to put it in safe mode (tap RESET while holding MODE until it flashes purple about 3 seconds) then I thought that it will not work becasue the Xenon does not have Wifi. Tried it anyway a…
