Process

Working on a couple practice exercises with the neopixels really helped me start to understand the different ways I could control the light strip and how to start to fade from color to color. I had a lot of debugging and working through the code part by part. Following the instructions I just went step by step, figuring out how to first get a fade from white to red and then back to white. I had some difficulties getting the fade to work the same way each time the cloud function was called. I found a good hack for this by storing a value for "fadingToRed" which would then need to be reversed after the first fade and second fade so it would always fade the right direction when the function was called.
