Now we’re getting somewhere!

I figured out the issue with the sensors interfering with the leds. It all comes down to only using the GPIO pins when you need them vs initializing everything at the beginning of the app.

Currently trying to figure out why the leds act up when I use a break beam sensor - I ended up using a separate esp32 for skeeball but I really want to make this all run on the raspberry pi
