what kinda sensor u use?

There's no sensor at all, it's to control an RGB LED...

You are absolutely beautiful :)! Is there anywhere you give an in-depth explanation of how all of your code works? (the important stuff like where is the 0.666666 number coming from, not how passing a array by reference works). I would very much appreciate that! Thank you again

Problems with inverted / non-inverted math in SetColor() function are related to the RGB LED diode you are using. The inverted version is for the common anode (CA) diode, while the non-inverted is for the common cathode (CA) RGB diode.
