[TriEmbed] Particle Boron Users?

[Huan Truong]

I have used the Particle tracker for my High-altitude balloon projects
and it served me extremely well. I don't know about the new board
until now.

Don't use the web editor, the good ol' command line is great. I have
nothing but great things to say about it. The labelled headers are
amazing as well.

This is our Tracker code for the balloon. It's probably not very
updated, but I have plans to update it soon.

Cheers,

I had the parts to replicate the Particle Photon Asset Tracker (GPS module plus LIS3DH accelerometer), so went with this project: https://www.hackster.io/YanSarazin/particle-asset-tracker-with-mysignal-io-using-mqtt-1a853e

I guess you have to fork it on github and somehow make the IDE aware of it. The library seemed to have a time-out for not finding the LIS3DH on the I2C bus, but that had issues which seemed to prevent pushing new code to it until I wiped it with new firmware and ran the code with the actual LIS3DH attached. It should not have gone 'unpingable' but mine did until I re-flashed it. Not great for OTA updates.
