Resources and Going Further

Here are a few links that should help with any further questions you may have about the Photon Weather Shield:


  • Particle Documentation Pages -- go here to set up and configure your Photon (or other Particle devices)

  • Particle Community Forum -- anything that you couldn't find in the docs should be easily found in the community forum. If you are having trouble, search this forum first, as many of the answers are there already.

  • If you would like to use the Photon and the Weather shield with Microsoft's cloud service, Azure, check out this great tutorial by Paul DeCarlo.

  • There is a great tutorial on Hackster.io from Dan Fein that goes over how to completely enclose your weather shield and send your data to Wunderground.com.
