Using Electron / Photon in high volume commercial product

Hey there. We are hoping to make a public announcement shortly about features and availability timelines. Stay tuned!

@dfarny, thanks for sharing the images of the PCB. One question about surface mounting the photon - how do you initially program your device? The micro USB looks to be too close to the PCB to get a normal micro USB plug in. Or do you flash them before mounting?

BTW your digital clocks with the valve digits in the background look very retro cool.

Thanks @will for the info.

Waiting for the same.

Regards
Mahesh

It is possible to connect a cable to the USB connector when the Photon is surface mounted. It is a bit tight and you need to have space around the connector, but it works very well.
Glad to hear you like the tubes :wink: This is our core business - nixie tubes.
