My primary takeaway from this project was an appreciation for programming devices that do not always have an outward display of success. In other words, code that I have written in previous classes on my PC will immediately tell me if my code is working correctly or not. If the code is not working, I can run the program line by line to determine the error. With the Photon, I have no way of easily isolating the problem. Instead, I had to work in ways to segment my code while is going through its continuous loop. I achieved this primarily by using buttons and cloud variables. In future projects I will know to build in similar breaks to make debugging easier.
