BrewPi Photon update?

Elco,

Will you be able to document the process for replacing the spark core with the photon?

Thanks

Just want to say, that was the easiest installation I have had in a long time. I had my own Photon and performed the following:

Placed the Photon into the BrewPi. Placed it into DFU mode (https://docs.particle.io/guide/getting-started/modes/core/) and initiated the script:

sudo python /home/brewpi/utils/flashDfu.py

Completed in 2 minutes! Up and working.

As a side note, I did have issues with the Photon prior to placing into the BrewPi due to the USB cable. I went through 3 cables that I had around the house, to no avail. Spent a few $s on a decent cable and all my issues were eliminated. If you have “no DFU device connected” (or similar), find a quality USB cable and any connection problems will likely be eliminated.

Thanks!
