What is an RGB LED?
An RGB LED is a single LED package that contains three separate LEDs inside it:
-
Red
-
Green
-
Blue
By combining these three colors at different intensities (using PWM—Pulse Width Modulation), you can produce millions of colors.
🔄 What “Running” Means in This Context
“Running” can refer to:
-
Color Cycling: Smooth or step-by-step transition between colors (e.g., red → green → blue → yellow).
-
Chasing Effect: If multiple RGB LEDs are used, it can look like a light is “running” across them.
-
Fade or Pulse: Colors fade in and out smoothly.
📘 Example Application
-
Mood lighting
-
LED displays
-
Notification lights
-
Smart home lighting systems
⚙️ How It Works (Example in Arduino)
You control each color with PWM signals. By adjusting the intensity of each channel, you generate different colors. In a “running” effect, you either:
-
Change the RGB values over time, or
-
Move a color pattern across multiple LEDs
