The Argon is a powerful Wi-Fi enabled development board that can act as either a standalone Wi- Fi endpoint or Wi-Fi enabled gateway for Particle Mesh networks. It is based on the Nordic RF52840 and has built-in battery charging circuitry so it’s easy to connect a Li-Po and deploy your local network in minutes.
The Argon is great for connecting existing projects to the Particle Device Cloud or as a gateway to connect an entire group of local endpoints.
