particle setup

1. Enter your email address and password, this will create an account on particle.io.
2. Detect your wifi, you should have a handout that contains the wifi info, use it to send your particle core the wifi information.

You should see the core light go from blinking blue to breathing cyan:

If you get any errors please let one of the mentors know.

1. Flash the core

Once your particle core is connected via wifi, we need to flash the core with the voodoospark cpp file

1. Checkout voodoospark

git clone  https://github.com/voodootikigod/voodoospark.git
cd voodoospark
particle flash --usb firmware/voodoospark.cpp

1. Get your Device ID and Access Token

To get your device id simply Run

particle list

To get your access token

In you home directory there should be a folder called .particle and in that folder a file called particle.config.json - in that file should be your access token.
