I ordered a Photon Kit and was wondering what kind of sensors/buttons it includes.
As part of a university project I will work with the Photon and it would be helpful to know what I’ll be able to do with the kit, so I can specify my project.
Have a look at the docs. It’s all there http://docs.spark.io/shields/#spark-maker-kit
The Core would obviously be replaced with the Photon, but the rest remains the same I believe.
Take a look at @will’s answer below, which is much more accurate!
@johnny353535, the basic Photon has no USB cable or protoboard. The Photon kit includes these whereas the Maker kit (Spark Core) comes with a Core/Photon and a bunch of components. You may want to look at the Grove Starter Kit as well.
Hey @johnny353535 . We haven’t finalized the first project that we’re including in the kit yet, but we’re currently planning on either a temperature sensor project or light sensor project with included wiring instructions.
Photon Kit = Equivalent of the old regular Core (includes breadboard + sticker + Cable)
Maker Kit (w/ Photon) = Equivalent of the old Maker Kit, but with a Photon this time. The BOM will also be significantly improved in terms of value and number of usable components. I believe everyone will be very happy with the changes.
