This is similar to the led example but this time we attach an RGB led
The example is similar to the Control an LED from a Web browser with an Arduino example, so we won’t dwell on the details of that example too much but we will crack on and show you schematics, layout and code for this example.
One thing to note is that in this example I had a common cathode RGB led, if you have a common anode type you will have to modify the code (reverse the settings – low will be on, high would be off)
Schematic
Here is a schematic and breadboard layout
