3. Prototype I: Connecting Devices

Our first step to designing our product was to make sure our devices could speak to each other. While we had developed these skills using various components (solenoid, piezo, and neopixel) during our Skills Dev in class, we wanted to get one of the devices to publish an event (i.e. "food is available") and for the second device to respond by illuminating a neopixel. 

Additionally, once both neopixels were lit up, we programmed a dimming effect to indicate how much time was remaining to go and get free food (i.e. 30 mins = 10 secs).
