//Date - 02/10/2019 - Small prototype for the concept Pixel Away. Contributors: Ranveer Katyal, Menghan Zhang, and Sijia Li
//Idea: The follwoing code lets a user light up a specific Pixel on a strip of neo-pixel and transmit it to another device
// This #include statement was automatically added by the Particle IDE.
#include <neopixel.h>
// IMPORTANT: Set pixel COUNT, PIN and TYPE
#define PIXEL_PIN D2
#define PIXEL_COUNT 30
#define PIXEL_TYPE WS2812
