LCD and RGB LED sketch to display different colours and patterns depending on
the value read by a potentiometer.
Author: Dan Gregory.
Date: 27.6.22

Hardware setup:
RGB led with red pin to digital 10, blue to digital 9, and green to digital 8. All through
220 ohm resistors.
LCD with i2c protocol, and potentiometer read through analog pin A2.

/*
The following code is a series of if statements, I won't comment them all as there isn't much
time
But each one checks the pot and if it meets the conditions of the if statement, the code will
set
the led pins (red, blue, and green), to either HIGH or LOW. This will result in different
colours
being displayed when the pot is turned from zero, through to 1023 (max).
The series of colours that the led will display as it's turned higher is
OFF - Red - Pink - Blue - Cyan - Green - Blinking.
At a value of 0, the light is off, and above pot value of 1019, it's blinking.
There are equal zones between these points where the colours are displayed.
