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.
