Highlighted App Notes

AN001 Basic SoM Design is a simple SoM base board. Like a Boron it can be powered by LiPo battery, USB, or an external DC supply. It includes: RGB LED, bq24195 PMIC, MAX17043 Fuel Gauge, USB Connector, LiPo Connector (JST-PH), and M.2 SoM Connector.
AN006 Vehicle Power provides sample designs for powering Particle devices in vehicles.

AN002-Device-Powerdown shows how to have an Electron, E Series, or Boron gracefully power down under battery power when the power supply is disconnected then automatically power up when restored. This can be useful in automotive applications or devices powered by a switch in mains power applications.
AN005 Threading Explainer provides detailed information on using execution threads on Particle devices.
AN008 Using a Xenon with the Nordic SDK
AN009 Firmware Examples provides some annotated code examples, including how to effective use sleep modes.
AN010 Finite State Machines shows some of the ways to effectively structure your code using finite state machines.

AN003 Interpreting Cloud Debug shows how to interpret cloud debugging logs to troubleshoot various common issues.
AN004 Interpreting Cloud Debug-2 is a deep dive into interpreting cloud debug logs and cross-referencing the AT command guide for the u-blox modem.
AN007 Tower Info is a tool for location nearby cellular towers.
