Reflection

• The first time I was connecting, I had forgotten to use jumper wires to power the whole circuit. It's so easy to get caught up and excited about engaging with the input and output because of which I made multiple mistakes in setting up the circuit.
  
• Writing code on your own without an exact reference is hard. I wanted to make sure I'm getting the basics right instead of just copying code and it took me multiple trials and errors and multiple hours, despite which I couldn't get it right. Following is the code I couldn't get to work, hence I decided to design something different for exercise. If you spot my mistake and know how to fix it, please comment and let me know.  

• int flexPin = A0;

  int flexReading = 0;

  int ledPin = D2;

  int ledBrightness = 0;

  void setup() {

  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);

  Particle.variable("snoopy", flexReading );

  }

  void loop() {

  flexReading = analogRead(flexPin);

  ledBrightness = map(flexReading, 0, 4095, 0, 255);

  analogWrite(ledPin, ledBrightness);

  delay(100);

  }
