Common cathode rgb led strip.

Using common anode ca rgb led with arduino. In a common cathode rgb led all three leds share a negative connection cathode. A wide variety of dc12v common cathode rgb led strip options are available to you such as certification lamp body material. Plug the led in the breadboard.

The reason common anode is more common is because its easier to sink current than to source it. Connect common anode of led to 5v pin of arduino in common cathode we connected it to gnd pin. A wide variety of common cathode rgb led strip options are available to you such as 3 year 2 year. With either common anode or common cathode you ll have one terminal connected directly to a supply for all leds and the other side having the dropper resistor and a control transistor per pin or ic outputs that are transistors on the inside either sinking or sourcing a current.

This results in an led that has 4 pins one for each led and one common cathode or one common anode. In a common anode rgb led the three leds share a positive connection anode. Setting up the circuit. About 45 of these are led strip lights.
