Here, we’ll hook up a second LED with the anode facing away from Pin 4 (instead, towards 5V) and the cathode facing toward Pin 4.

LED Circuit 2 is similar but different.

In this circuit, Pin 3 is the current source. When we drive Pin 3 HIGH (5V), the current will travel through the LED to GND.

LED Circuit 1 will be the exact same as before with the LED anode facing Pin 3 and the cathode facing ground.

We are going to build two simple LED circuits: We will also incorporate the use of a breadboard. In this tutorial, we will learn the difference between current sourcing and current sinking by revisiting our LED Blink example.

Step 3: Compile, upload, and run the code!.

Step 1: Write the setup and initialization code.

Writing the code: blinking Pins 3 and 4.

Step 1: Wire up the power and GND rails.

Before you begin: breadboarding circuits.

You need to comment out some code lines for the common cathode RGB LED and uncomment the code lines written for the common anode. Note: If you're using a common anode RGB LED, please read the comments inside the code.

#Led anode cathode serial#

It allows you to monitor the RGB decimal value or the duty cycle of PWM signals through the serial monitor of the Arduino IDE. The other lines in the code are for monitoring purposes. These lines program the Arduino Uno to adjust the duty cycle of the PWM signals based on the voltages across the ADC channels. Then it converts the values into a (0-255) range since the ADC uses 10-bit resolution which ranges from (0-1023) but the PWM function of the Arduino Uno uses a (0-255) range. This part of the code tells the Arduino Uno to read the voltage across the wiper terminal of the potentiometers/trimmers through channels A0, A1, and A2. These lines configure the digital pins D9, D10, and D11 to be the PWM output pins.

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.

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.
