As I approached this project, I first created an account on thingspeak which is an open source IoT application and API to store and retrieve data using the Http protocol.
Next, I connected the neopixel on a separate breadboard and connected it to the photon using the jumper wires. Then, i added the distance sensor.
The code needed 3 libraries in order to implement - httpclient, neopixel and HC_SR04 for the sensor. I connected my channel on thingspeak and added the ID on my code to establish the Http connection
Finally, I 3D printed a case for the lamp.
