KY-009 RGB LED 5050 module for ARDUINO

The RGB SMD LED module RKP-RGB-LED5050 is designed to be used with devices using the ARDUINO platform (Arduino).

At first glance, RGB LEDs look just like ordinary LEDs, but they actually have three LEDs inside: one red, one green, and one blue. By controlling the brightness of each one, you can control the color of the LED.

There are two elements on the RGB-5050 module board: a three-color LED SMD 5050 and a 4-pin connector. The LED contains three crystals of red, green and blue colors. They can light up simultaneously or alternately.

The SMD RGB LED module is used to indicate the operating modes of devices, to illuminate LCD indicators and keys. It is used in toys and complex entertainment equipment. Multi-color lighting provides a wide scope for design solutions, which is important in advertising, for decorating clubs, concert halls and during various public events. The original effect is created by highlighting water and ice sculptures.

3 color LED module for Arduino.
Analog outputs on the Arduino use "pulse width modulation" to produce varying amounts of current. You can feed all three color inputs on the LED with a different PWM signal value in the range from 0 to 255, which will allow you to get almost any color out of 16,000,000 possible.
Great for solderless breadboards.
