🎄 Day #6: See the RGB!
Today, we reset the breadboard and added two addressable RGB LEDs. Creating loops in code to cycle the colours, add in fades, and pass the colour between the two LEDs.

🎄 Day #11: Merry Membrane!
Today, we added a 4-way membrane keypad to our build. We used the buttons as a colour pattern selector and a passcode input for a secret present list.

🎄 Day #2: Lighting LEDs!
Today, we wrote a little program to turn on the Pico’s onboard Green LED. The code also flashes the Red LED block ten times, waiting half a second between each flash.

🎄 Day #5: Switch the DIP!
Today, we added a “rat’s nest” of jumper wires and a 5-way DIP switch. We can now physically turn each LED on and off individually. Also, using functions we can run little programs for each DIP switch.

🎄 Day #7: Time to Slide!
Today, we added a slide potentiometer “slider” to the build. We changed the LED colours, fades, and flash speed. We used the ADC pins on the Pico to turn the signal coming from the slider into digital.
