I have managed to finish*, but there's a lot more I'd like to do in the future**, for now, I just have the RGB ring doing an endless RGB wave effect since I don't have the time to figure out how to program other functions but I will surely do it at some point. For now, I am just going to test it out (it's been going well, no sudden volume changes and the RGB ring doesnt freeze.

* I have not made another cement knob, the current one works just fine although the gap between the knob and the enclosure is larger than planned.

**In a future version I plan to find a new encoder although I anticipate it being hard to find one to fit this small form factor but still have a strong "click" when turning. If this is the case I may need to find a way to support the outer side of the knob so when I turn the knob with my finger, the knob doesn't lean to one side slightly (could just make a tighter encoder coupler). I will probably also try to make a PCB just to give myself some practice on designing with the ATMEGA 32u4 and this will also help with the strength of the encoder since it would be mounted directly to the PCB.

For now, expect some silence on this project as I focus on some other pending projects for my workbench which will help me work on more projects easily.

Thanks to everyone who showed their support/interest.
