Update: I figured out how to mix colors, however I still have a question. Description : 5mm 4 Pin F5 Common Cathode RGB LED package includes of the 5mm F5 transparent round head, high light LED, which emits three main color light. Pin 13 has an LED connected on most Arduino boards:ĭigitalWrite(9, LOW) // Cyan (Light Blue)ĭigitalWrite(8, LOW) // Magenta (purple) initialize the digital pin as an output.
COMMON CATHODE RGB LED CODE
This example code is in the public domain. Turns on an LED on for one second, then off for one second, repeatedly. May need to take these RGB LED's back if they are too much of a hassle.
This is the spec sheet for the common anode RGB LED:īe nice, I'm a noob, and far from an electrical engineer, but I've gotten this to work up to this point. They can be represented in 2 ways Common. So what is the difference? Do I need to apply voltage to the "ground" pin on the common anode RGB LED? Again I am using the DIGITAL only pins specifically 7, 4, and 2, or 13, 12 and 8. The mixing 3 different colors like Blue, Green, and Red a white light is generated this kind of LED is called RGB LED. I already have the DIGITAL only pins working with the common cathode RGB LED. I am planning on maxing out my arduino and using both digital and PWM pins. A RGB Common Cathode LED should have it’s longest leg (leg 2) connected to the ground pin on your Arduino (Current source) In both cases, you’ll connect the R, G and B legs of the LED to IO pins on your Arduino through some suitable resistor (200-330 Ohm) to not burn out the LED. Long story short, the wiring for the 2 do not seem to work the same, and all of the info I am finding points to using PWM pins for common anode rgb LED's. 5Mm RGB LED Diode Lights Tricolor Multicolor Red Green Blue 4 Pin Common Cathode Clear 20Ma. I thought, yay, this looks exactly like the common cathode RGB LED that came in my kit, I'll take 3. While for the common cathode RGB LED, the cathode terminal is connected to the GND pin. Through hole package dip led diode 10colour changing diode led 5mm 8mm 10mm 4 pin rgb light emitting diode common cathode led.
I got so antsy to want to control more than one RGB LED, that I went to radio shack and saw they had a "full color" led. Independent Power Supply Energy-saving Common cathode drive architecture using precise electronic control, based on led red, green, blue three different photoelectric characteristics, with common cathode IC control system and independent private mode, for the led drive circuit precision distribution of different voltage, so that the product power. I am playing with the make arduino starter kit I got in the last week like crazy.
