Elegoo Arduino Uno Super Starter Kit LEDs

We will now look at LEDs we can wire and program using our Mk Arduino Uno super starter kit. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are semiconductors that will show light when current passes through them. This light is produced within the solid semiconductor material, so it can be called a solid-state lighting device. We will be looking at the wiring of LEDs with our breadboard. Different resistor values will be used to change the LED light brightness. We will discuss how we can calculate the amount of current passing through our LED. An RGB and Red LED will then be wired to our Arduino UNO. The brightness and color of our LEDs will then be changed through the programming of the Arduino Uno. PWM outputs will be used in our program (sketch). Let’s get started. More detailed information can be obtained on our website.
