RGB LEDs with Arduino - Standard and NeoPixel
Offered By: DroneBot Workshop via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the world of RGB LEDs with Arduino in this comprehensive 44-minute video tutorial. Dive into color theory and learn how primary colors combine to create a rainbow of hues. Master the use of conventional RGB LEDs, including common anode and cathode varieties, and calculate appropriate dropping resistor values. Connect RGB LEDs to an Arduino and control color intensity using potentiometers. Discover the power of WS2812 addressable RGB LEDs (NeoPixels) and learn how to daisy-chain multiple units for impressive light displays. Follow along with practical demonstrations and code examples to create stunning visual effects for status indicators, custom lighting, and even video displays. Access additional resources, including detailed articles, code samples, and community forums to further enhance your RGB LED projects with Arduino.
