About this product
KY-016 is a full-color RGB LED module built around a 5 mm common-cathode RGB LED with three 150Ω current-limiting resistors. Adjusting the PWM signal on each color pin mixes red, green and blue into different colors, which suits indicators, lighting effects and Arduino color experiments.

Frequently asked questions
How do I control each color?
Each of the three color channels has its own pin. Drive the common pin to GND and apply PWM to the color pins to set the brightness of each channel.
What supply voltage does it need?
The listed operating voltage is 5V, so power it from a 5V source such as the 5V pin of an Arduino Uno.
