typedef enum {
    STATUS_INITIALIZING,
    STATUS_CONNECTING,
    STATUS_CONNECTED,
    STATUS_ERROR
} system_status_t;

void set_system_status(system_status_t status) {
    switch (status) {
        case STATUS_INITIALIZING:
            led_manager_set_color_by_name("Blue", false);
            break;
        case STATUS_CONNECTING:

## 🔧 Hardware Setup

### Supported LED Types

- **WS2812** - Most common RGB LED strip
- **WS2812B** - Improved version with better timing
- **SK6812** - RGBW variant support
- **NeoPixel** - Adafruit brand WS2812-based LEDs

### Wiring Diagram

```
WS2812 LED Strip    ESP32
-----------------   -----
VCC (5V/3.3V) ----  5V/3.3V Power Supply
GND           ----  GND
DIN (Data)    ----  GPIO_NUM_X
```

### GPIO Recommendations

**Compatible GPIO pins:**

- ESP32: GPIO 2, 4, 5, 16, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23
- ESP32-C3/C6: GPIO 0-10, 18-21 (avoid USB pins 18,19 when using serial)
- ESP32-S2/S3: GPIO 1-17, 21, 26-45

**Recommended pins:**

- **GPIO 8** - Primary recommendation for ESP32-C6
- **GPIO 2** - Built-in LED pin on many boards
- **GPIO 16, 17** - Good alternatives for ESP32

### Power Considerations

- **Single LED**: ~20mA @ 3.3V (60mA max at full white)
- **Short strips**: ESP32 can power 5-10 LEDs directly
- **Longer strips**: External 5V power supply required
- **Data voltage**: 3.3V logic levels work with most LED strips

### Pull-up Resistor

Most LED strips work without additional components, but for reliability:

```
ESP32 GPIO ----[330Ω]---- LED Strip Data
```

## 📖 Usage Patterns

## 🔍 Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

1. **LED not lighting up**

   ```c
   // Check initialization
   esp_err_t ret = led_manager_init(GPIO_NUM_8);
   if (ret != ESP_OK) {
       ESP_LOGE("LED", "Init failed: %s", esp_err_to_name(ret));
   }

   // Verify GPIO pin is correct
   // Try basic RGB test
   led_manager_set_rgb(255, 0, 0);  // Should show red
   ```

2. **Colors appear wrong**

   ```c
   // LED strip may have different color order (GRB vs RGB)
   // Try each primary color individually:
   led_manager_set_rgb(255, 0, 0);    // Should be red
   led_manager_set_rgb(0, 255, 0);    // Should be green
   led_manager_set_rgb(0, 0, 255);    // Should be blue
   ```

3. **Blinking not working**

   ```c
   // Check if blinking task is created
   led_manager_set_color_by_name("Red", true);

   // Verify FreeRTOS configuration allows task creation
   // Check available heap memory
   ```

4. **Intermittent operation**
   - Check power supply stability
   - Verify wiring connections
   - Add pull-up resistor to data line
   - Check for electromagnetic interference

### Hardware Troubleshooting

**Power Issues:**

- Ensure adequate power supply (5V/1A for 10+ LEDs)
- Check voltage levels with multimeter
- Verify ground connections

**Signal Issues:**

- Add 330Ω resistor in series with data line
- Keep wiring short (< 1 meter for reliable operation)
- Use twisted pair or shielded cable for longer runs

**Performance Issues:**

- Monitor FreeRTOS heap usage
- Check for task stack overflow
- Verify GPIO pin capabilities

### Debug Functions

```c
void led_debug_sequence(void) {
    ESP_LOGI("LED", "Starting LED debug sequence");

    // Test all predefined colors
    const char* colors[] = {"Red", "Orange", "Yellow", "Green", "Blue"};
    for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
        ESP_LOGI("LED", "Testing color: %s", colors[i]);
        led_manager_set_color_by_name(colors[i], false);

## ⚙️ Configuration

### Compile-time Configuration

The library uses default configurations that work for most applications. Advanced users can modify the source code for specific requirements:

```c
// In led_manager.c - modify these values if needed:
#define LED_STRIP_LED_COUNT     1        // Number of LEDs
#define LED_STRIP_RMT_RESOLUTION 10000000 // 10MHz resolution
#define LED_STRIP_TASK_PRIORITY  5       // Blinking task priority
#define LED_STRIP_TASK_STACK_SIZE 2048   // Task stack size
```

### Runtime Configuration

```c
void configure_led_advanced(void) {
    // Initialize with custom settings
    led_manager_init(GPIO_NUM_8);

    // Set custom blink rates for different scenarios
    led_manager_set_blink_rate(1000);    // Slow for warnings
    led_manager_set_blink_rate(200);     // Fast for alerts
    led_manager_set_blink_rate(2000);    // Very slow for info

    // Custom color intensity (dimmer colors)
    led_manager_set_rgb(100, 0, 0);      // Dim red
    led_manager_set_rgb(0, 100, 0);      // Dim green
}
```
