Analog RGB LED Strip Control with Arduino (Lesson #29)

[@matthewirwin4176]

Thanks - this was exactly what i needed to watch!

[@aberateklehaimanot9804]

Thank you for this precise clear and informative video.

you have no idea how much u help, gbu dude😭✨

[@jamieguterman9598]

Awesome video! I'm new to Arduino and Soldering... When I'm connecting the LED via soldering, can I use the end of jumper wires? If not, what kind of wires should I use?

[@Science.Buddies]

Yes, you should be able to solder jumper wires to the pads on the LED strip.

Amazing! Exactly what i needed! Can you indicate me what video should i see to use potenciometers to control the colors? I wish i could control the colours with tree independent analog potenciometers! Thank you very much

Our tutorial about potentiometers is here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZKbdJ19qLR5sLssi=SpN_oIRZ56hOjtoB

@@Science.Buddies thank you!

Thanks for the tutorial, very clear and simple way of presenting the information One question, if I want to use the LEDs to make a Clock, following the digital pattern Would I need to create several cuts in the led strip, so that each one represents a part of the digit forming a number? In that case, how could I connect these parts to the arduino and control them?

[@Science.Buddies]

Hi - we recommend looking up a "digital" or "addressable" LED strip - we don't have our own tutorial for them, but you can individually control the LEDs of a single strip without having to cut it up. Adafruit should have a good tutorial for them.

Thank you!

wait.. why didn't you plug the barrel jack directly into the arduino? Is there no way to use that 12v with the Vin pin?

[@Science.Buddies]

In general you don't want to supply a large amount of current through the Arduino. See the top reply here: electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/67201/maximum-current-draw-on-vin-pin. There is a diode rated for 1 amp connected to the Vin pin.

[@wyqid]

I believe the arduino will not draw more current than it requires and it has a voltage regulator on the barrel plug. If your code causes it to need more power, that is the only reason the arduino would try to pull more than 1 amp through the barrel jack.

[@ExploringNew1]

What is the mosfet that you're using?

[@Science.Buddies]

It's an N-channel MOSFET like this or similar: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07CTF1JVD
