Introduction: RGB LED Mixer

About: Software developer and electronics tinkerer.

Hello and welcome to my first instructable!
Today I will be showing you how to make a RGB LED color mixer.

Step 1: Parts Needed

For this instructable you will need:

Seven Pushbutton switches
Wire
Nine Diodes
One Red LED
One Green LED
One Blue LED
One CR2032 Battery holder
One CR2032 Battery
Soldering board
Soldering iron
Solder

Step 2: The Schematic

The schematic is really simple.

1: For the first three switches you just normally connect the LEDs.

2: On the second row you must use 2 diodes on each swich,just use them like normal wire but be sure to have the outbut of the diode going to the LED

3: The last button will control all three LEDs, repeat step two but add three diodes to all three LEDs instead of two.

Simple but AWSOME!!!

Step 3: The Result

This project is really handy.
It is perfect for teaching children about which colors can be mixed to create new colors.
It is possible to put a big blob of hot glue on the top to mix the colors but i like it how it is.
Good luck to anyone who is building this!
