Skill Dev I: A Simple Internet Appliance

Outcome

The Yellow, Red, and RGB LEDs can be controlled on the Particle console through functions. Yellow and Red LEDs can be toggled on and off by typing "HIGH", "HI", "LOW", and "LO". Each color pin of the RGB LED is PWM enabled, with 0 being the max brightness and 255 being off for each color. RGB LED can be controlled by typing in values for "R, G, B" in the particle console.

Process

Followed the "A Simple Internet Appliance" and "LEDs Continued" DioT Labs tutorials.

Reflection

Though this lab, I learned how to connect to the Argon, how to flash over the air, and how to set up functions in the Particle console to control the IOs of the board.
