This board hasn't been fully documented yet. Please make a pull request adding more info to this file.
The Argon is a powerful Wi-Fi enabled development kit that can act as a standalone Wi-Fi endpoint. It is based on the Nordic nRF52840 and has built-in battery charging circuitry so it’s easy to connect a Li-Po and deploy your local network in minutes.
The description should be written to inform a CircuitPython user what makes the board unique and link to relevant info about it.
The Argon is great for connecting projects or as a gateway to connect an entire group of local endpoints. It's everything you love about the Photon, with more features like Bluetooth.
