KY-016 3 Colour RGB LED Module
Overview:
The KY-016 3-Color RGB LED Module is an RGB LED module that allows for the creation of a wide range of colors by mixing red, green, and blue light. It consists of a common cathode RGB LED with built-in 150Ω resistors to protect the LEDs. The module can be easily controlled using microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or ESP32, utilizing Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to adjust the brightness of each color channel.

              • Key Features:

                • RGB LED: Combines red, green, and blue LEDs in a single package.

                 

                • PWM Control: Allows the intensity of each color (red, green, and blue) to be adjusted independently using PWM, enabling full-color mixing.

                 

                • Common Cathode Design: Simplifies the wiring by sharing a common ground pin for all colors.

                 

                • Pre-installed Resistors: Each color channel has a built-in 150Ω resistor, so external resistors are not needed.

                 

                 

                Specifications:

                • Color Control: Independent control of red, green, and blue via PWM

                 

                • Power Consumption: Low power consumption due to built-in resistors

                 

                • Dimensions: 26mm x 15mm

                 

                • Pinout:
                  • R: Red color control (connected to PWM-capable pin)
                  • G: Green color control (connected to PWM-capable pin)
                  • B: Blue color control (connected to PWM-capable pin)
                  • GND: Ground

                 

                 

                Applications:

                • Decorative Lighting: Create dynamic, colorful lighting effects for various environments.
                • Mood Lighting: Control the ambiance of a room by adjusting the color and brightness.
                • Status Indicators: Use color changes to represent different system statuses.
                • Educational Projects: Great for learning how PWM works and how to mix colors with LEDs.

                 

                 

                The KY-016 RGB LED Module is a simple yet versatile component that adds vibrant color effects to any project. Its ability to mix colors through PWM makes it perfect for creative lighting applications and educational use in electronics projects.
