particle controls Particle IoT devices. It manages device firmware, cloud functions, and variables.
Devices include Photon, Argon, Boron, and Electron boards. Cloud connectivity enables remote management.
Compilation can happen locally or in Particle Cloud. Flashing sends firmware over-the-air or via USB.
Functions and variables expose device capabilities. Events enable pub/sub messaging between devices.
Serial monitoring shows device debug output. Useful during development and troubleshooting.
