RGB LED Color Mixing with Arduino (Lesson #28)

This video tutorial explains how to use an RGB LED with an Arduino to create various lighting effects. It covers the setup of the circuit on a breadboard, the use of datasheets to identify LED pins, and the simulation of the circuit using Tinkercad Circuits. The tutorial also provides a detailed explanation of the code used to control the brightness of the LED colors using potentiometers.

What are the three colors of LEDs found in an RGB LED?

• Red, Green, Blue

• Red, Green, Yellow

• Red, Yellow, Blue

• Red, Blue, Yellow

Why are current limiting resistors used with RGB LEDs?

• To change colors

• To prevent LEDs from burning out

• To prevent overheating

• To increase brightness

What is the purpose of a potentiometer in an RGB LED circuit?

• To power the LED

• To change the LED color

• To control LED brightness

• To connect the LED to ground

How can you identify the longest pin on an RGB LED using a data sheet?

• By its thickness

• By its position

• By its color

• By its length

What is the difference between common cathode and common anode RGB LEDs?

• Cathode shares positive, anode shares negative

• Cathode is larger, anode is smaller

• Cathode shares negative, anode shares positive

• Cathode is positive, anode is negative

What is Tinkercad Circuits used for in this tutorial?

• To measure LED brightness

• To create LED colors

• To simulate Arduino circuits

• To design LED patterns

Why is it important to place LED pins in separate rows on a breadboard?

• To increase brightness

• To prevent short circuits

• To save space

• To make it colorful

What does PWM stand for in the context of Arduino?

• Pulse Width Modulation

• Power Width Modulation

• Pulse Wave Modulation

• Power Wave Modulation

What is the purpose of the map function in the Arduino code?

• To connect to the internet

• To change LED colors

• To convert voltage values

• To adjust brightness

What is the range of values for the analog write function in Arduino?

• 0 to 128

• 0 to 512

• 0 to 255

• 0 to 1023
