Epoxy Resonance Monolith 🔊✨

A sculptural fusion of art, acoustics, and embedded design—The Epoxy Resonance Monolith is a 16" tall clear epoxy cube housing dual Bluetooth speaker spheres, a quad-helix aesthetic coil core, ambient LED effects, and wireless power. All controlled by an ESP32 with a sleek web-based interface.

🧠 Features

• 🎵 Dual Bluetooth Audio Speakers with full stereo resonance
• 🌈 Addressable RGB LED animations, with:
  • Static, Pulse, Rainbow, and Music-Reactive modes
  • Web-based preset and brightness/color control
• 🌀 Quad Helix Coil Design embedded in optical-grade epoxy
• 📶 Wireless Qi Charging Coil and embedded receiver
• 📡 ESP32 Controller running Wi-Fi + WebSocket UI
• 💾 EEPROM State Saving for last-used settings
• 🎙️ Music-Reactive Lighting via MSGEQ7 or analog mic input
