Introduction: Arduino RGB Led Controller
i recently got an arduino and the first project i tried was oomlouts instructable. there was to much work to do on the code so i made a simpler one.
Step 1: Parts
for the parts you will need
a common cathode rgb led
3 270-330 ohm resistors
an arduino der
if you have a common anode instead
you will need
3 NPN transistors
3 1k resistors
Step 2: Setup
this is how you setup your led for common cathode of you have the other type go to step 3
red pin to resistor to pin 9
green pin to resistor to pin 10
blue pin to resitor to pin 11
longest pin to ground
DI is blue pin
D2 is green pin
D3 is red pin
Step 3: Common Anode Rgb
this step is for the common anode people
r4-6 1k
1-3 270-330 ohm
u1-3 npn transistor
D1 blue pin
D2 green pin
D3 red pin
ignore the pin 1-3 signs it is just the pin 9 10 11 signs that are for arduino
Step 4: Programing
here is the code for it
it is since to edit the code to make the different colour combinations
using a colour code chart or random colours

Step 5: Enjoy
