Arduino Tutorial #4: RGB LED

Arduino Tutorial #4: RGB LED


                 In this tutorial, we will look into how to control the RGB LED. First, let us look at the theoretical of the RGB LED. But before that, I would like to demonstrate how it will look when you test the LED with Arduino.

Arduino Tutorial #3 : UnoArduSim - LED


Arduino Tutorial #3 : UnoArduSim - LED 


                 In this post, we will look into the detail of the Arduino. The most commonly used Arduino is the Arduino Uno. You may choose other Arduino version as well, but for our learning purpose, we will be referring to the Arduino Uno.
               The first Arduino was developed ten years ago by the Interaction Design Institute of Ivera, based near the Italian city of Turin. The initial aim of this project is to provide to students with a simple yet powerful tool to create or developed interactive systems. The members of the Arduino include the Uno, Leonardo, Mega, Nano and Micro. On top of that. there are many another clone type of Arduino which cost less than $10.  
                  When you buy an Arduino Uno, it comes with all the item that you need to start to program it. You can power up the Arduino either by the USB or through the DC jack. The type of USB cable used is a standard A-to-B USB cable. The below table shows the technical specification for the Arduino Uno.
