The New Particle Photon 2 - Powered by Realtek RTL8721DM MCU

[salmanfaris]

The particle release draft of Photon 2 is a development module with a microcontroller and Wi-Fi networking. The form factor is similar to the Argon (Adafruit Feather), but the Photon 2 supports 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, BLE, and has much larger RAM and flash that can support larger applications.

It is intended to replace both the Photon and Argon modules. It contains the same module as the P2, making it easier to migrate from a pin-based development module to a SMD mass-production module if desired.

Features

• 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
• Integrated PCB antenna
• Integrated U.FL connector for external antenna
• Integrated RF switch
• BLE 5 using same antenna as Wi-Fi
• Realtek RTL8721DM MCU
• ARM Cortex M33 CPU, 200 MHz
• 2048 KB (2 MB) user application maximum size
• 3072 KB (3 MB) of RAM available to user applications
• 2 MB flash file system
• FCC, IC, and CE certified
