SET UP YOUR B402
The B402 Kit comes with the following things:
B402 development kit
SoM develop board
Starter Project
oOne micro-USB cable
oOne LiPo battery
1. Set up your B402
Use the online setup application to configure your new B402. The process
includes the following.
Registration of your device with your Particle account
Connection of your device to the Particle Device Cloud
Particle Mesh network configuration
Once you've completed the setup you will be able to program your device and
send over-the-air (OTA) updates to it.
To begin setting up your B402, click the button below and follow the onscreen
instructions. When you've completed set up, continue to Step #2.
SET UP YOUR XENON
NOTES:
1.) If you have already set up your B402, skip to Step #2.
2.) During set up you may skip setting up a Particle Mesh network and use the
Xenon in a standalone mode.
2. Open the Web IDE
To program your B402, open a new browser tab and go to the Web IDE.
NOTE:
The Web IDE is one of the ways you can write, compile, and deploy code to your
Particle devices.

If you're looking for a more traditional embedded development experience, be
sure to learn about [Particle Workbench], a full toolchain integration with Microsoft
Visual Studio Code.
3. Load the Blink example
Click on Blink an LED on the left side of the page. As soon as you click the Blink
and LED code will load and fill the screen as shown below.
The code is heavily commented to help you understand the general structure of
the sketch: the first part of the code declares two variables, the setup() function
configures two pins as outputs, and finally the loop() which turns the onboard LED
on, then off, then loops continuously.
4. Target your device
The Web IDE can be used with multiple devices. As such, when you go to
compile source code, it's a good idea to verify that the board you
Before you compile the source code and flash your device with its binary output,
make sure that the correct Particle device is selected.

NOTE:
If you don't see your B402 listed, click on the device name. A sidebar will appear
on the left with a list of all of your devices. Click on start to the left of the B402 you
wish to deploy code to.
5. Compile your code & flash
Click the lightning bolt icon on the top left of your screen to flash your code to your
device.
As soon as you click, the Particle Device cloud will compile the program source
code to a binary file and send it over-the-air (OTA) to your Argon.
NOTE:
You'll often see words like flashing and deploying used interchangeably.
