Get Started in Electronics #3 - Controlling RGB LED with Code

Hello, 3D Printing friends! Today we're getting back to the electronics projects, as we explore controlling the brightness of LEDs with code!

In this series, we're using the Elegoo Uno Super Starter Kit. Want to buy an Elegoo Uno Super Starter Kit for yourself? You can pick one up here:

Who gave this the two dislikes I think this is one of the best tutorials ever

[typeterson]

This is actually a perfect series! I am not a big fan of 3D printing nor do I own one but this series is very helpful for learning about what you can do with an arduino

These simple walk-throughs are helping me get started as a hobby tinkerer.

[shawncoteburk]

These videos are very informative. I bought this kit as a hobby, and had a little trouble getting it started. After watching the first two videos I felt I had a good grasp on electronics and reinforced what I knew about coding Not to mention illuminating the vast potential of an Arduino. Thank you for your knowledge and experience.

Excellent video, Bryan. Thanks for explaining the purpose of each line of code. The kids received the Elegoo Super Starter Kit for Christmas and we're on this lesson right now. We printed your base (the one with the cutouts to save time and material) and are using it. It works perfectly. It was a bit tricky to print on my slightly warped bed (Anet A8) so I had to adjust the bed during the first layer. That did the trick. The base makes it much easier to store and install the parts.

Awesome video Bryan! A great primer to RGB LEDs and Arduino! (Also love the new sticker on your laptop! 😜 Thanks for giving it a great home!)

Great to see arduino content. Home automation, remote sensing, teaching children, robotics and RC cars and planes - so many things arduino can Synergises with 3d printing perfectly. Was also easier to learn marlin firmware after doing a few arduino (dont have to tell you)

[Selavel]

Another great episode...this makes learning the arduino a lot less daunting...thank you. The numbering of the episodes is so much easier to keep track of what I have and have not seen.

Thank you, Bryan. I appreciate your presentation style making this easier to understand.

[stevesquier]

I wish you had a walk thru for each project in the kit. You make things easier to understand. Thank you for the time you put into these videos, on subjects which I'm sure are quite novice to you.

Gfs brother bought me this for x-mas a few years ago. It's been collecting dust. Not for lack of interest but lack of knowing where to start. Thanks for your well written and demonstrated videos man. Really enjoying the journey that is this starter kit along with your content

[TheDevilsbard]

Thank you so much for these videos. I’m much more mechanically inclined than electronics/coding so these have been very helpful with the kit I got for my son. I might even end up learning something out of this.

[jo-jobighiker]

Very Good, Mr. Vines. You are a good teacher who knows his stuff!

[julianyumanji]

Thank you Bryan V. You have helped invigorate my passion for electrical engineering again just with a few videos. Thank you !

[eccentricnut]

This is great, I'm realizing that I need to "take it from the top" since I really don't remember ANY of what Ihad figgured out before. Plus like with the difuser, adding a hint of 3D printing only ties hobbies together to make it all more fun :-)

[EduTechNeer]

I just got into doing the Elegoo kit. Thank you so much for these tutorials. You are an excellent teacher!

[dprintinggnome]

Brian great intro video. I love using the Arduino's for this use especially using an LED Strip. When you put the crystal over the LED I immediately had flashbacks to The Dark Crystal

[rreads]

How do u make putting resistors in the breadboard look so easy

[ETime]

I really love this series so far its nice and short and sweet and gets to the meat of things thank you !

[antonellaalbalopez]

This is so Thanks a lot for this!! I'm following your Elegoo Arduino videos, they're very cool. I'll watch 3D printing videos too!!!
