I need the PLATFORM\_ID for the following Particle products: Tracker One, Tracker SOM, B Series SOM, Photon 2, P2, Photon, Electron, and E Series. I want to use it to differentiate between those products that have a built-in LED on D7, and those that do not.

For the current devices

for legacy devices you'd need to check a previous repo version

Will the following function accurately differentiate products (Boron, Argon, Photon 2, Photon, Electron, Core) with the built-in LED on D7?

```auto
bool deviceHasLedOnD7() {
  // Returns TRUE if the device has a built-in LED on D7:
  // Boron, Argon, Photon 2, Photon, Electron, Core
  // 8: P1
  switch (PLATFORM_ID) {
    case PLATFORM_BORON:
      return TRUE;
    case PLATFORM_ARGON:
      return TRUE;
    case 0:
      // Core
      return TRUE;
    case 6:
      // Photon (PLATFORM_PHOTON_PRODUCTION)
      return TRUE;
    case 10:
      // Electron (PLATFORM_ELECTRON_PRODUCTION)
      return TRUE;
    default:
      return FALSE;
  }
} // deviceHasLedOnD7()

```

I'd think so - although with fall-through it can be written shorter

```cpp
bool deviceHasLedOnD7() {
  // Returns TRUE if the device has a built-in LED on D7:
  // Boron, Argon, Photon 2, Photon, Electron, Core
  // 8: P1
  switch (PLATFORM_ID) {
    case 0: // Core
    case PLATFORM_PHOTON_PRODUCTION:
    case PLATFORM_ELECTRON_PRODUCTION:
    case PLATFORM_ARGON:
    case PLATFORM_BORON:
      return TRUE;
    default:
      return FALSE;
  }
} // deviceHasLedOnD7()

```

What about Photon2 value in switch case?
