Water Tower to get Noisy

After almost two weeks of avoiding manuals, while scanning blog posts and speed-watching the occasional tutorial, the speaker attached to the DF Player Mini attached to the ESP32 board burst into song! Along the way, I procured more bread boards because the ESP32 is too big to fit on a single one and allow connections on both sides.

Of course, I spent one of those weeks trying to figure out how a months-younger version of me had successfully flashed the board. I followed a remarkably similar path to the first time, including the accidental over-writing of the boot loader, and rediscovery that PlatformIO will recover it if you can successfully talk to the device. I updated the original post with additional notes this time. Hopefully I won’t have to learn it again!

Now the circuit lacks only a limit switch and the valve switch to make the hardware complete. It’s just programming from there.
