I lost the code of my particle

[dorcu]

I lost the code of my particle plate and I would like to know if there is any way to recover it connected to my PC and using the IDE for Windows. Thank you.

Hey there and welcome to the community!

As you'll find in the topics below:

Can you download old source code from particle device?

Okay. You brought new computer, forgot to save on IDE cloud drive, or maybe accidentally format the HD. Is there a way to reverse it?

Downloading code from spark core

So I accidentally deleted my app on the spark core builder. The code I want is still flashed to the core. I don’t suppose that I can download my code from the core or maybe restore my app in some other way? thanks

I deleted my app in the web IDE but it's on my Photon. Can I get it back?

I deleted my app in the web IDE at some point. It’s flashed to my Photon and I need to make a edit. Is there some way to retrieve it? I wish we had a testing and a production area or folder on the web IDE to prevent this, or a way to retrieve previous code.

Retrieving project from Photon or Particle Dev

I used particle Dev for my projects, and now my SSD crashed - is there any way of retrieving the projects - are they sync’ed to the online web IDE in some way? Is there maybe a way to retrieve the code currently running on my photon? I hope someone is able to help

There's really no way to get your code off the device again after it's been compiled into a .bin file. You can extract the .bin, and flash that to other devices, but you won't be able to see the code.
