Hi I recently bought a Particle photon so i could use it in a little DIY automation project. Since it came yesterday, i set it up according to the guides but i am having no luck with it. I connect it thru the app and it shows fine, the IDE shows the device is flashed but there is no magenta on fla…

Hi JavaSP, Welcome to the Particle world. First thing to say is it worth looking through the docs section on the website, and in particular to the photon:- https://docs.particle.io/guide/getting-started/modes/photon/ This will give you an idea what the photon doing at anytime. In order to be ab…

Hi It is a slow green blink. According to the document, the slow green means it is not connected on the cloud. Is there anything I can try to fix this ? Currently i am using a Huaweii B3000. As far as i know it is stock and only supports 2.4GHz. I am using mac.

Hi JavaSP, Yep, it looks like it is not connecting to the cloud. A quick test would be to turn off the wifi router for a minute, and it should start flashing green quickly. Which means it is not connecting to the network. Then when you turn the router back on, it will start to breath green again, s…

I will try that. Thank you. Already installed the CLI and updated the firmware. Or I thought so.

Well to check if it is installed at the command line type:- particle --version (thats a double minus sign) and it should spit back the current installed version. Not sure what the current version is for Mac, so I’ll let someone eles confirm that. Liam

Most recent CLI version (on any OS) should be 1.21.0 @JavaSP , can you open https://console.particle.io/logs and then put your device into Safe Mode and post the events you get on the console of your device?

I dont know if it is supposed to work like this, but i found that i could only flash the code in safe mode (blinking magenta). It now works! one ore thing. is it possible to store a log of usage ? Like, how many times a button is pressed and by which user ? (Blynk App)

Hi JavaSP, Glad to here you got it working. By that do you mean it is breathing cyan, and you are now able to flash you code updates directly to it via the web IDE? Looking at the question of logging a button press, you can create a counter varible in your code that incremments each time the butt…
