Creating a new feed
Fill in the name and a description. You must use "left-reed" for the name. The code on the HUZZAH and iOS app both expect this name. The other feeds must also have the exact names specified below. After clicking the "Create" button, the web page should then look something like this:
One feed created
Create three more feeds named:
- right-reed
- left-open-close
- right-open-close
When you're done, the feeds list should look something like this:
All feeds created
That's it for creating your feeds. You can go back to the HUZZAH Software guide, or create an AdafruitIO dashboard to view your feeds via a web browser.
