Particle Electron Case

thingiverse

The Particle Electron basic starter kit comes in a case that's designed specifically for it. This case has space to hold standard craft magnets in place. The battery, breadboard, and antenna can all fit inside this case with plenty of room left over for you to add your own parts as needed. There are two different tops included with the kit - one fits a standard 128x64 OLED screen that's pretty affordable, and the other has a square cutout in it that lets you access the top if you need to. Using Octoblu makes building IoT applications quick and easy because it lets them connect to anything they need to. You can check out more information about how to use Octoblu at https://octoblu-designer.readme.io/. There's also an older guide for using the Particle API with Octoblu that might still be helpful - now you can just add a native channel from the things page instead of following those steps.
