Lab 1

Outcome

The outcome of this lab was a successful circuit and code that allows for an LED to be controlled by sending a command through the particle cloud. 

Process

The process for this lab was pretty straightforward. As this was the first lab of the mini, step-by-step instructions as well as code was provided. I followed the instructions and modified the code as needed to complete the assignment.

Reflection

I enjoyed this activity. It has been a while since I worked with a microcontroller and it felt good to dust the cobwebs off. I have little experience with the cloud connected function of the particle board, so it was really cool to learn how to interface with the cloud and actually control the device remotely. Next time I will read through all of the exercises first to see if there is a way I can optimize the structure of my code to work better for all cases.
