The online Build IDE is easy, but it's not for everyone - that shouldn't stop anyone from getting a chance to use this powerful, cost-effective WiFi development platform.


The purpose of this tutorial is provide a quick overview of the options you have when your developing firmware for the Photon. Or there are the more "hardcore" ARM development environments, which, while more complicated, can provide complete control over the contents of your Photon's program memory. There's a pre-configured local IDE, which shares many of the online IDE's advantages, but allows you to keep code stored on your hard drive.
