All that you need for this project is an Arduino and an RGB LED.
Here you can download the code for the Arduino: Arduino code
Steps
Step #1: Electronic Sketch.
Next
- The RED pin is attached to pin 9
- The GREEN pin is attached to pin 6
- The BLUE pin is attached to pin 5
- The BLACK pin is atteched to GND
Me too!
Whoa, what language was the app in???

Yea, I bought the ultimate kit from make. They ship common anode, not cathode… only fried one RGB LED to figure that out…
@Kevin, there’s a technical reason why red isnt a bright. If you use a ‘smaller’ resistor, it should be brighter. I’m using 220 on blue & green, 100 on red and it’s working better.
You should be less critical, for something so basic it goes without saying that you have to “salt to taste” . Not all RGB LED s Will use the same voltage & current.
