I was able to expand lights so I could fit 6 lights on the breadboard. Could not expand into original plan of 7 given

Belatedly realized I have * just * the amount of ports needed to make this thing work.

Areas of Troubleshooting

• Could not get the 3rd light to work for the longer time. With the help of David, it turned out that the root issue was that the capacitive sensor was drawing power from port D19, which is also SCl. Takeaway: Avoid communication sensitive ports D18,D19,D13
• Could not get the serial monitor to display data of all the lights cleanly as I wanted and needed during troubleshooting. Takeaway: Mindful of the Serial.print vs Serial.println placement

Next Step:

• Assemble in arrangement of the big dipper; test how distance / length of capacitor brings change.
• Standardize wire spiral with .8 or .6 gauge.
• Review Handshake lab
• Meditate on Serial communication and different states (1) default and (2)star on
