Previous_PWMValue_GreenPin = Pot_GreenPin If (Threshold_PWMValue_RedPin >= 10 || Threshold_PWMValue_GreenPin >= 10 || Threshold_PWMValue_BluePin >= 10) Threshold_PWMValue_BluePin = abs(Pot_BluePin - Previous_PWMValue_BluePin) Threshold_PWMValue_GreenPin = abs(Pot_GreenPin - Previous_PWMValue_GreenPin) Threshold_PWMValue_RedPin = abs(Pot_RedPin - Previous_PWMValue_RedPin) Sometimes you get unstable output due to jumper wires not properly connected, poor quality breadboard, or poor quality potentiometers.

This section is for serial printing the RGB decimal values.

That way, you can have a balance between the brightness of the internal LEDs. But if you have access to the datasheet of the RGB LED that you're using, check the forward voltages of internal LEDs and from that, you can calculate the right resistance of the resistors that you're going to use.

Anode or cathode led series#

Note: In this example, we just used the same resistance value for the RGB LED series resistors. The cathode pin of the RGB LED is connected to the GND pin of the Arduino Uno. The D10 pin controls the intensity of the green LED and D11 controls the intensity of the blue LED. As you can see in the image above, the D9 pin controls the intensity of the red LED of the RGB LED. The ADC of the Arduino Uno reads the analog voltage across the wiper terminal of the potentiometers/trimmers and based on that voltage, the Arduino Uno adjusts the duty cycle of the PWM signals generated at the PWM pins D9, D10, and D11.

Basically, what happens here is that we have 3 potentiometers/trimmers connected to the A0, A1, and A2 ADC channels of the Arduino Uno. They're all connected through the jumper wires that we have. We have here a common cathode RGB LED, an Arduino Uno board, 3 potentiometers/trimmers, and 3 resistors. I think it would be a good Idea to use since nobody checks the AC adapter for power if the red led is lit and who wants to replace a battery because they didn't check it? Anyways here's a pic of the Float charger I use or should I say 1 of 8 that are in use today. IN Short they stay red no mater which way the power flows, so I wanted to crack the case open 'easy' and remove the 2 pin red that shows power plug in to wall or not as long as the 12 v battery has juice with a Bi-color led that will show a green when charging and a red when the adapter fails with a red, Off hand anyone here try that yet? Just wondering. but, a few times I had float chargers go bad and didn't catch them because the little Red light stays on when the power adapter fails. I'd call this a fast question but when you are looking to use it on a Float charger it becomes more specific, Like many other here or there, :) That use float chargers on many projects I always need a 12 volt back up in case of power failure from my 12 Volt devices, Duh.
