Outcome

For this project we wanted to created a pair of devices such that if one person pushes a button it will be synced to another person's particle console, making both people's servo motor spin the same number of degrees.
Listed below are first person's code, second person's code, and a video.

int servoPin = A3;
Servo myServo;
int servoPos = 0;

int buttonPin = D3;

void setup() {
  myServo.attach( servoPin );
  Particle.function("servo", servoControl);
  Particle.variable(  "servoPos" , &servoPos , INT );
  pinMode( buttonPin , INPUT_PULLUP); // sets pin as input
  myServo.write( 0 );
}

void loop() {
    int buttonState = digitalRead( buttonPin );
    if( buttonState == LOW )
  {
    // turn the LED On
   Particle.publish( "buttonpushed");
   String degree = "90";
   int pos = degree.toInt();
   servoPos = constrain( pos, 0 , 180);
   myServo.write(pos);
   delay( 5000 );
   }

}


int servoControl(String command)
{
    // Convert
  int newPos = command.toInt();
  // Make sure it is in the right range
  // And set the position
  servoPos = constrain( newPos, 0 , 180);

  // Set the servo
  myServo.write( servoPos );
  
  // done
  return 1;
}
