Smooth RGB LED Color Transitions (Arduino)

int redPin = 11;
int greenPin = 10;
int bluePin = 9;

int r = 0;
int g = 0;

void loop() { 
  setColor(255, 0, 0);    // red
  setColor(0, 255, 0);    // green
  setColor(0, 0, 255);    // blue
  setColor(255, 255, 0);  // yellow
  setColor(80, 0, 80);    // purple
  setColor(0, 255, 255);  // aqua
}

void setColor(int red, int green, int blue) {
  while ( r != red || g != green || b != blue ) {
    if ( r < red ) r += 1;
    if ( r > red ) r -= 1;

    if ( g < green ) g += 1;
    if ( g > green ) g -= 1;

    if ( b < blue ) b += 1;
    if ( b > blue ) b -= 1;

    _setColor();
    delay(10);
  }
}

void _setColor() {
  analogWrite(redPin, r);
  analogWrite(greenPin, g);
  analogWrite(bluePin, b); 
}

it broadcasts itself if there are no connections to it. example, if i unplug the esp32, the phone will "eventually" pick up the XBT, i say eventually because it may take up to 15 seconds with the app, the esp32 connects in less than a second hahaha

the XBT range should be normal bluetooth range, considering people install the XBT in their engine bays amd use a phone app, the ESP32 should be fine
