Circuit Documentation
Summary
The circuit in question appears to be a multi-colored LED control system, utilizing a Raspberry Pi 5 as the main controller, interfaced with an ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller. The circuit includes a pushbutton for user input and a photocell (LDR) for light sensing. The LEDs are of four different colors: red, green, blue, and white. Each LED is connected in series with a resistor to limit the current. The pushbutton is used to presumably toggle or switch the state of the LEDs, and the photocell is likely used to adjust the LED behavior based on ambient light levels. The ESP8266 NodeMCU is interfaced with the photocell and may be used for additional processing or connectivity purposes.

Documented Code
No code was provided for the microcontrollers in the circuit. The expected behavior and functionality would be implemented in the code, which would control the LEDs based on the input from the pushbutton and the photocell (LDR). The code would also handle communication between the Raspberry Pi 5 and the ESP8266 NodeMCU if needed.
