Instead you using multiple separate LEDS I used a single RGB LED, I assumed that the methods for fading and flashing would be almost identical to single LEDS and I was mistaken. I learned that different colors are activated and are visible in different amount and trying to arrive at a single suitable color combination proved to be interesting.I thought it would be simple to come up with switches for transitioning between “moods” but the potentiometer I used is quite finicky. Instead of moving smoothly between each mood it is hard to determine how to be in specific sections of fading,flashing A and flashing B.
