Sample Pad

Making an audio sample player based on the ESP32-S3. This is a musical instrument that reads 44.1kHz 16-bit WAV files off an SD card and plays them back when triggered by the user.

The pads are pressure-sensitive (an ADC reads each force-resistive pad). Currently working on sourcing the pressure sensors + silicone pads and optimizing for production & sale.
