Dev for ‘real’ projects. Web for quick and dirty library tests.

I print out the .bin file and while reading it byte for byte, tap out sequence of 0’s and 1’s to the device using a pair of microswitches. It used to take a long time on the core, but with the small binaries on the Photon it’s a breeze!

I use the webide now to learn how to use everything. later i want to start using the local dev to manage me development in-house.

@mdma : Nice try :wink:. Think of all the time you could save by outsourcing that job. You might also want to make sure that the switches have a very good debouncing circuit, or your rocket could very well end up heading to China instead of to the moon.

Wow, that’s hard core… We used the same approach for a while, but we finally bit the bullet and invested in a clan of gelada baboons. It took a while, but once they figured out how to use fashion a sort of rudimentary lathe, they were able to make the tools they needed to tap on the microswitches. …

I use both Particle Dev and the CLI. Recently I got particle Dev working on linux, so my daily usage of Particle CLI has decreased. I use Particle CLI with Travis CI.

I clicked on WebIDE because I thought multiple selections were possible as I’m using WebIDE and particle-cli. I’m also looking forward to using local compiling once I have more time on my hands.

Web for funzies, and CLI when I’m feeling ambitious and/or had espresso. I too voted for WebIDE thinking that multiple selections were possible. (I flash the SIMON game onto my Internet Button what I feel like having a few minutes of distraction!)

@ladysarakat That. Sounds. AWESOME!!! Can you post the SIMON game in project shares or tutorials ? I’d love to see it!
