The goal of this skill dev was to begin working with LED's and turning multiple on, making them blink, or doing it through the cloud. Videos are submitted on Canvas.
int led1 = D3;
int led2 = D2;
void setup() {
pinMode(led1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(led2, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// digitalWrite(led1, HIGH);
// delay(3000);
// digitalWrite(led1, LOW);
// delay(3000);
// for( int i = 0; i < 3; i++ )
// {
// digitalWrite(led1, HIGH);
// delay(500);
// digitalWrite(led1, LOW);
// delay(500);
// }
// delay(3000);

}The first 3 tasks were pretty straight forward as they did not involve working with the cloud, but when I began to work with the cloud I encountered some issues. I initially tried to work through the command prompt, but I was getting a lot of errors there, so I switched to sending commands through the website and that worked a lot smoother for me. Additionally, my particle keeps going offline, so that is something I would want to figure out by the next skill dev.
