LilyPad RGB LED Wearable - Red, Green, and Blue! Blink any color you want. Since this is RGB, you can create a wide variety of color. This is a common anode design - to turn on a channel you simply need to ground one of the R/G/B pins to illuminate that channel. To light up each color individual LED, connect them eac to a power source. For simple circuit hookups, this means you need to connect the R, G, or B sew tabs to power (+) and in code set them to HIGH (for digital output) or 255 (for analog output) to turn them on.
Features:
- 20mm outer diameter
- Thin 0.8mm PCB
