We think that we should make our ideas straight. We either stick to the armadillo backpack and drop the led thing and work on actual camouflage, or we can stick to the led light, and set the back of the armadillo backpack into any color as well.
1. The two ideas contradict each other
2. Maybe use tent like material for the armadillo backpack?
3. Led lights goes against camouflage as it will only stick out.
4. The military will probably use green and camo instead of led lights
5. Maybe drop one of the ideas

Make sure to connect the components as described in the schematic:
Connect the photoresistor to an analog pin (e.g., A0) on the Arduino, along with a resistor (e.g., 10k ohms) connecting to the ground (GND) pin.
Connect the common anode of the RGB LED to +5V.
Connect each color pin of the RGB LED (Red, Green, Blue) to their respective PWM pins on the Arduino (e.g., 9, 10, 11).
Connect a resistor (e.g., 330 ohms) from each color pin to the ground (GND) of the Arduino.
This schematic assumes a common anode RGB LED. If you have a common cathode RGB LED, you'll need to adjust the connections accordingly.
const int photoResistorPin = A0; // Analog pin for the photoresistor

// Map the photoresistor value to an RGB color range

int blueValue = map(photoValue, 0, 1023, 0, 255);
analogWrite(redPin, redValue); // Set the red channel of the RGB LED
analogWrite(greenPin, greenValue); // Set the green channel of the RGB LED
analogWrite(bluePin, blueValue); // Set the blue channel of the RGB LED
delay(100); // Delay for better readability (adjust as needed)
