Interfacing of Multicolor LED with Arduino


In this tutorial, we will learn how to interface an RGB led with Arduino.
An RGB led consist of three Led’s namely red, green and blue inside a single package.

It is having three pins the longer one(2) is the GND(in the case of the common cathode) and the other three pins represent the three colours.
You all must have heard about the RGB colour model, it is a model representing the colours that can be generated with the combination of three basic colours.
Now let’s interface the led and have some fun with it.
Components required
  • Resistor                         1No.              200 ohms
  • RGB led                         1No. 
  • Arduino UNO                 1No.
  • Few connecting wires
Follow the video below for circuit connection reference.
After making the circuit connections dump the code given below. 
int led1 = 3;
int led2 =5;
int led3 =6;
void setup() 

{
pinMode(led1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(led2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(led3, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() 

{
digitalWrite(led1, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(led1, LOW);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(led2, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(led2, LOW);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(led3, HIGH);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(led3, LOW);
delay(1000);
digitalWrite(led3, LOW);
delay(1000);
}

 
The above code is to observe the basic colours; other combinations can also be generated.



Now apply your own logic and try to generate your own patterns.
  • RGB LEDs are of two types:
                 Common anode
                 The common cathode (which we have used in the tutorial)

LED Brightness Control using Touch Sensor and ARM

Hey Folks, In this tutorial, we will learn, how to change  the intensity of light using touch sensor the ARM (FRDM-KL25Z). INTRODUCTION The FRDM-KL25Z is an ultra-low-cost development platform for Kinetis L Series KL1x (KL14/15) and KL2x (KL24/25) MCUs built on ARM® Cortex™-M0+ processor.  The FRDM-KL25Z has been designed by NXP in collaboration with mbed for prototyping all sorts of devices, especially those requiring the size and price point offered by Cortex-M0+ and the power of USB Host and Device. The FRDM-KL25Z is supported by a range of NXP and third-party development software. It is packaged as a development board with connectors to break out to stripboard and breadboard and includes a built-in USB FLASH programmer.               FEATURES NXP KL25Z Kinetis KL2x MCU (MKL25Z128VLK4) High-performance ARM® Cortex™-M0+ Core 48MHz, 16KB RAM, 128KB FLASH USB (Host/Device) SPI (2) I2C (2) UART (3) PWM (TPM) ...

Webcam Interfacing with Raspberry Pi

This tutorial is about the clicking photos and recording videos using "Logitech Webcam C110 with Raspberry Pi 3 Model B" Component Required: Rasberry Pi 3 Model B  Logitech Webcam C110  Adapter Charger micro USB-b Type 5v,2Amp  Connection Diagram: Step 1: Create a new folder First, we create a new folder just to store your photo and videos separately. Open the terminal. Command for creating new folder is "mkdir folder name" Step 2: Check everything is up-to-date To update your Raspberry Pi command is " sudo apt-get update ". And to upgrade your Raspberry Pi command is " sudo apt-get upgrade". Step 3: Check SSH and Camera enabled To make sure SSH and Camera enabled. Follow these two-steps. By this command, you can configure your SSH and Camera " sudo raspi-config ". Enable SSH. Enable Camera. Step 4: Check connection of Camera Make sure the camera is connected. Then run this command to make sure...
