Spark Photon

rmenon · April 25, 2015, 11:36am

Will the new spark photon be compatible?

Pavel · April 25, 2015, 12:48pm

As we get our Photon in hands, yes, of course

Have you gotten a Photon yet?
I’m getting ‘Code verified’ from the Verify step, but failing with make errors in the Flash step.
Using BLYNK v0.2.1, Spark firmware V0.3.4

I have a Photon and have the same issue. It passes verification in the particle.io compiler (version v0.3.4) but when I go to flash it, errors appear. Below is my result.

Guys, we can’t guarantee Photon support until we get our devices. I’m still waiting for mine to come.

It would be great if it worked out-of-the-box, but usually it doesn’t happen with hardware. Too many variations.
Let’s wait some time.

itayd100 · July 16, 2015, 8:53am

Hope you will get it soon and we will get the upgrade soon too

The Photon is ready to Blynk on my desk.

itayd100 · August 1, 2015, 11:47am

Hey @Pavel, did you get the Photon?

peekay123 · August 13, 2015, 12:29pm

@Pavel, you should have received your Photon by now. Any updates?

justin_cole · August 14, 2015, 6:41pm

Any updates on Photon support? I would love to start using blynk with mine.

Pavel · August 14, 2015, 8:04pm

Yes, Photon is on the way to @vshymanskyy so that he can take a look at it. You should also understand that while we truly like this tiny thing, the number of Blynk users working with it is really low, so we have to give it a very low priority.

But we hope that someone from Particle community might start doing smth with Photon support.

justin_cole · August 17, 2015, 5:31pm

@Pavel thanks for the update! I’ll check their forum and see if anyone has made some headway with it.

peekay123 · August 20, 2015, 12:40pm

@Pavel, the number of Blynk users using may be low because they have been waiting for Photon support!!

Pavel · August 20, 2015, 2:08pm

Do you think it can be also applied to Spark Core users?

peekay123 · August 20, 2015, 3:07pm

@Pavel, the Core is no longer available and many are already “committed”. However, I believe a number of Cores are sitting out there waiting for a great app like Blynk. I personally want to use many of my Cores with Blynk though I’m waiting on some feature like app "packaging"and such. Now that the Photon is about to get new firmware solving a lot of issues, porting Blynk to will should be very straight forward and worth the effort. Being a Particle Elite, I will gladly promote Blynk to the community - it rocks!

vshymanskyy · August 20, 2015, 9:28pm

It will be easy once I get the board… I think I’ll get it in 2 weeks (approx).

ewarner77 · September 2, 2015, 4:30pm

New to the Photon, and just found out about Blynk this morning from a post on the Make groups. Super excited to get something going and I would like to use Blynk to have a front end for my photon so I don’t have to write my own webpages… Chalk me up as another vote in increasing the number of Photon users wanting support .

Pavel · September 2, 2015, 4:41pm

Photon is there!
Go and blynk something awesome!

Pavel -
Thanks for the quick response! I will be playing with this tonight :).

Thanks again!

katzworld · September 3, 2015, 6:43am

got mine rolling right now hope to see what else we can do with these
VERY nice example setup
