Is it C++ used in web based IDE? It wasn’t mentioned. If more than one programming language used, can you please list them with mention the cases they’re used? Thanks, Askar

Cant i just install a JS interpreter on to a photon? Also, how do i upload code to my photon manually? I want to use a different text editor, like Atom.

That's more and more leading away from the original topic. But [image] Pham1123: how do i upload code to my photon manually? Uploading a new binary (e.g. firmware.bin) is easiest done via CLI particle flash <DeviceName> firmware.bin # or particle flash --usb firmware.bin # or particle flas…

So the language a photon runs on is c++.

It runs on ARM machine instructions (provided via binary files), but the common language to write the code which will be resulting in these binaries is C++.

It runs on Wiring, which according to Wikipedia: "The Wiring IDE comes with a C/C++ library called “Wiring”, which makes common input/output operations much easier. Wiring programs are written in C/C++, although users only need to define two functions to make a runnable program: setup() – a functi…

So if I put a Wiring library in a folder with my sketch how do I source that file in my code?

Since you don’t mention on how you’re planning on compiling, here’s how you’d do it using the web IDE: https://docs.particle.io/guide/getting-started/build/photon/#using-libraries https://docs.particle.io/guide/getting-started/build/photon/#adding-files-to-your-app

How does the web IDE compile code in the first place? Then I can make a plan on how to compile my code. With JavaScript I didnt have to compile anything; I just had to source it in my HTML index.

It's a bit complex, but this is the gist of it. [image] The technologies that Particle is based on ^^ We built a comprehensive, fast, scalable build farm that lets you nearly instantly compile firmware for a huge variety of microcontrollers. Most major compilers have toolchains you can install …

I dont understand what "build farm" means. Is that a program or file? And to quote what ScruffR said earlier about CLI uploading... [image] ScruffR: Uploading a new binary (e.g. firmware.bin) is easiest done via CLI particle flash <DeviceName> firmware.bin or particle flash --usb firmware.bin …
