Lesson 58 : What is multidimensional Array? Example of RGB LED

Please select other codes for this lecture from the links below.

Part 6: Arduino Practial Programming

In this lesson RGB LED is explained and we learn how to find voltage of RGB LED form datasheet. Then we learn how to calculate a resistor needed for RGB LED, identifying pins, and then we learn how to control and generate different color using Arduino. this code is for Common Cathode RGB LEDs Please watch the video for full details.
