In this exercise, I followed up with the tutorial and finally made a device connect to Google Calendar and it will give me an ambient notification for a new update of the event.

Exercise 1: Light Up neopixel and then Turn Off

The first step I test the neopixel to see if it could be light up one by one and turn off, I follow up with the course instruction and code.

// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include <neopixel.h>

#include "neopixel.h"

// IMPORTANT: Set pixel COUNT, PIN and TYPE
#define PIXEL_PIN D2
#define PIXEL_COUNT 16
#define PIXEL_TYPE WS2812

Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(PIXEL_COUNT, PIXEL_PIN, PIXEL_TYPE);

void setup()
{
  strip.begin();
  strip.show(); // Initialize all pixels to 'off'
}
void loop()
{

   for(int i=0; i<strip.numPixels(); i++) {
     strip.setPixelColor(i, 255, 0, 0 );
     strip.show();
     delay(1000);
   }

    delay(1000) ;
    
   for(int i=0; i<strip.numPixels(); i++) {
     strip.setPixelColor(i, 0, 0, 0 );
     strip.show();
     delay(1000);
   }

Exercise 2: Light Up neopixel by one

The Led of neopixel will light up by one, and each time only one Led will work on. I change the content of the for loop.
