In this article you will find out what an RGB LED is and how to use it

DESCRIPTION
It differs from the usual one as it contains 3 small crystals R, G, B, which can synthesize any color or shade.
Technical description:

– Size (L*W*H): 40x24x24
– The LED lights up in red/green/blue or intersecting colors depending on the input signals
– Operating voltage: 5V
– F-Dupont 4pin connector for connecting to another device

Functionality when connected to the RED X controller:

Synthesising the colours or shades of the RGB palette together.

Principle of operation:


RGB LED module KY-009 - made on a printed circuit board with an installed 3-colour RGB SMD LED (model 5050) and has 3 inputs for controlling and obtaining the desired colour of the LED emission (red, green and blue).
