Logic Level Converters for Particle

So you’ve got your Particle Photon or Electron, you’ve got your sensors and external components and you’re ready to build an IoT device to make the world your slave. But hang on a minute, the sensor you have only operates on 5V and you vaguely recall that using 5V with the Particle I/O pins could be bad. Well you’re not wrong, that would be very bad. You see, the Particle Photon/Electron, like many other DIY platforms operates on 3.3V rather than 5V. If you’re not sure what we mean talking about voltage levels and other such terms, check out our Analogue Electronics Crash Course to get a handle on how electricity and electronics components all work. Particle does say that the some of the pins are 5V tolerant, meaning they won't be damaged by 5V, but certainetly won't outpt 5V, however it's better practice to protect them all.
