RGB Led Fading effect using Arduino

RGB Led Arduino
The RGB LED can emit different colors by mixing the 3 basic colors red, green and blue. So, it actually consists of 3 separate red, green and blue LEDs, packaged in one box. This is why it has 4 leads, one for each of the 3 colors and a common cathode or anode depending on the type of RGB LED. In this tutorial I will use a common cathode.
Components required for this Project :
  • RGB Led - Buy
  • Arduino Uno - Buy
  • Breadboard and Jumpers - Buy

Circuit Diagram

RGB Led and Arduino Circuit Digram

Above is the circuit diagram of the RGB Led and Arduino Uno,
As you can see the ground pin  of the RGB LED is connected to the ground of the Arduino and other 3 pins of RGB Led are connected to the PWM Pins of Arduino Uno (9, 10, 11).

Code


int ledPin = 9; 
int ledPin1 = 10;
int ledPin2 = 11;

 void setup() {}
void loop()
{
  for (int fadeValue = 0 ; fadeValue <= 255; fadeValue += 5) 
  {
    analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
    delay(20);
  }
  for (int fadeValue = 255 ; fadeValue >= 0; fadeValue -= 5) 
  {
    analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
    delay(20);
  }
  for (int fadeValue = 0 ; fadeValue <= 255; fadeValue += 5) 
  {
    analogWrite(ledPin1, fadeValue);
    delay(20);
  }
  for (int fadeValue = 255 ; fadeValue >= 0; fadeValue -= 5) 
  {
    analogWrite(ledPin1, fadeValue);
    delay(20);
  }
    for (int fadeValue = 0 ; fadeValue <= 255; fadeValue += 5) 
    {
    analogWrite(ledPin2, fadeValue);
    delay(20);
    }
  for (int fadeValue = 255 ; fadeValue >= 0; fadeValue -= 5) 
  {
    analogWrite(ledPin2, fadeValue);
    delay(20);
  }
    for (int fadeValue = 0 ; fadeValue <= 255; fadeValue += 5) 
    { 
    analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
    analogWrite(ledPin1, fadeValue);
    delay(20);
    }
  for (int fadeValue = 255 ; fadeValue >= 0; fadeValue -= 5) 
  {
    analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
     analogWrite(ledPin1, fadeValue);
    delay(20);
  }
     for (int fadeValue = 0 ; fadeValue <= 255; fadeValue += 5) 
     {
    analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
    analogWrite(ledPin2, fadeValue);
    delay(20);
    }
  for (int fadeValue = 255 ; fadeValue >= 0; fadeValue -= 5) 
  {
     analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
     analogWrite(ledPin2, fadeValue);
     delay(20);
  }
   for (int fadeValue = 0 ; fadeValue <= 255; fadeValue += 5) 
   {
    analogWrite(ledPin1, fadeValue);
    analogWrite(ledPin2, fadeValue);
    delay(20);
  }
  for (int fadeValue = 255 ; fadeValue >= 0; fadeValue -= 5) 
  {
     analogWrite(ledPin1, fadeValue);
     analogWrite(ledPin2, fadeValue);
     delay(20);
  }
   for (int fadeValue = 0 ; fadeValue <= 255; fadeValue += 5) 
   {
      analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
      analogWrite(ledPin1, fadeValue);
      analogWrite(ledPin2, fadeValue);
      delay(20);
  }
  for (int fadeValue = 255 ; fadeValue >= 0; fadeValue -= 5) 
  {
     analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
     analogWrite(ledPin1, fadeValue);
     analogWrite(ledPin2, fadeValue);
     delay(20);
  }
}
The code has used the fundamental properties of mixing RGB Colors and Producing different Colors.
Here is the table of RGB color mixing.
RGB Led Mixing Colors Table

By changing the value in the variable fadevalue we can create various colors by simultaneously turning ON leds together.

Arduino Code Basics - C, Pins

Code Basics -Arduino C The Arduino uses a slightly reduced C/C++ programming language. In this recipe, we will remember a few basics of C/C++. Ensure that you have Arduino IDE Installed on your Laptop/PC. Here is a simple example of basic Arduino C/C++ manipulating two variables: // Global Variables  int var1 = 10;  int var2 = 20; void setup() {   // Only execute once when the Arduino boots   var2 = 5;   // var2 becomes 5 once the Arduino boots } void loop(){   // Code executes top-down and repeats continuously   if (var1 > var2) {  // If var1 is greater than var2 var2++; // Increment var2 by 1   } else {  // If var1 is NOT greater than var2     var2 = 0; // var2 becomes 0   }  } When we upload a sketch to the board, the Arduino software first compiles the code. If there is an error in the code, it will write it in the Status Display area and will stop the upload. If no errors are found, it will begin writing the compiled co

Arduino Mega 2560

Arduino Mega - Description & Pinout Surely Arduino UNO is one of the most popular Microcontroller development board for project hobbyist and for some professionals also. When cheaper boards are available, why choose Arduino Mega? The main reason behind this is the additional features that are built into this board. The first feature is the large I/O system with 16 analog and 54 built-in digital pins supporting USART and other communication modes. Secondly, it has a built-in RTC and other features like an analog comparator, an advanced timer, an interruption of the controller's wake-up mechanism to save more power and a faster speed with a 16MHz crystal clock to get 16 MIBS. It has more than 5 pins for Vcc and Gnd to connect other devices to Arduino Mega. Other features include JTAG support for programming, debugging, and troubleshooting. With a large FLASH and SRAM memory, this card can easily handle a large system program. It is also compatible with different typ
