Reflection

Wiring and setting up the circuit was not challenging for this project as the Neopixels only needed 3 connections. I simply needed to solder the 3 wires to Neopixels before starting the project. Setting up IFTTT was not complicated, but was hard to verify due to the lag on the platform. There was usually a 10 to 15 minutes delay for the Neopixels to get the input from IFTTT, but after testing the calendar alert a few times, I was able to establish that my code, circuit, and IFTTT integration were working correctly. Learning how to use the libraries and leveraging proven functional code were also very useful for the future class and personal projects.
