Elio Robot Command Recorder

This Python script enables the control of an Eliobot using physical buttons to record and execute movement commands such as forward, backward, right, and left turns. The script utilizes a NeoPixel for visual feedback corresponding to different actions and includes the functionality to play jingles at the start and end of command sequences.
