rbg tutorial

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

I;m using an rbg for one of my projects and I don't know how. Can someone please give me the tutorial?

2

What is an rbg? Post a data sheet for it.

Read the how to use this forum-please read sticky to see how to ask an effective question.

If you used Google (which isn't such a bad idea), search for "RGB tutorial" not "RBG tutorial". You will get a lot more hits.

Appears to be a movie!

Yeah, "arduino rgb led" got over 12 million hits.

Actually, there really are RBG (e.g. WS2812) and some GRB systems out there, but that is not the generic term.

That is assuming that the OP is talking about LEDs. Who knows for sure?

Overview | Arduino Lesson 3. RGB LEDs | Adafruit Learning System

Adafruit[/url] usually has some good tutorials.

An RGB LED is "simply" 3 LEDs in a single package with a common cathode or common anode (so 4-wires for 3 LEDs). As usual, each LED needs it's own current-limiting resistor.

Even after reading reply #1, you're still not going to tell us what kind? There are literally thousands of different types.

You should first work on simple LED, as you don't even know which RGB Leds you are using.

There's no evidence of that; OP just hasn't shared the info here

As pointed out in #8, an rgb is simply 3 leds in one package with a common.

Here's a tut at sparkfun. (It says it's "retired" but I reckon that means the kit they wrote it for is retired. The code obviously still works :wink: I just tested it.)
