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.
