hardware project

i did a ton of work in the past day or two, unfortunately i forgot to do a devlog so over 5 hrs of working time has passed.

i made working circuits for a ton of different components: LED bar, PWM with LED, RGB LED, neopixel (8 LEDs in one component), active + passive buzzer, touch sensing (with a loose wire as a sensor). potentiometers, photoresistors, and thermistors.

started experimenting with more complex circuit designs for subparts of the final project like working with multiple potentiometers to create a RGB LED circuit that can change to any colour my twisting the potentiometers (image attached).

the photoresistor + LED circuit was interesting as the output of the LED affected the photoresistor output, so i would need to shield the photoresistor from it.

the buzzers allowed me to get some proper sound out (like a sine wave sound) so ill continue experimenting with that later down the road.

LED + Button

spent some time connecting esp32 and installing the driver + micropython.

designed some circuits on TinkerCAD with arduino instead of esp32

got used to some circuits like momentary push button and also non momentary one to light up an LED. wrote code for all of this.

see below for the latest one i did
