  • Under “Hostname”, give your Particle device a memorable and unique name, for example: DARAGHSPARTICLEDEVICE.wifi.local.cmu.edu

  • Enter the hardware address you copied earlier in the Hardware Address field and click continue.

  • Click the “Submit” link.

Hold tight

It can take about an hour</a> for your device to be registered with the network!

Hold tight

You don’t need to do this part everytime you connect your Particle device; just the first time you want to use it on the CMU network.

The next step will be to register (or claim) our device on the Particle Cloud. Unfortunately, you’ve got to wait until the NetReg piece is finished, before you can do this….

After 1 hour

Unpower your device and wait one hour… Then.

  1. Plug in your Argon board so it is powered on.

  2. Follow the steps to claim your board, link it to your Particle account, and get it online.
