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

Add RGB LED lighting to your next Arduino project! This video will show you how to individually control the brightness of red, green, and blue LEDs on an analog strip so you can mix colors. Note that unlike digital strips, the LEDs on these analog strip are not individually addressable - that is a topic for a different video!

Thanks - this was exactly what i needed to watch!

[koyacrab]

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

[aberateklehaimanot]

Thank you for this precise clear and informative video.

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?

[eduardo_]

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

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?

What is the mosfet that you're using?

[SpaceGoat]

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?
