What you need
- Arduino Uno
- Resistance (check on datasheet)
- Connection wire
- Electronic tools
Steps
- Check the operating voltage of the 3W LED, which ranges from 3.0-3.5V.
- Select an appropriate resistance to limit the current flow (check on datasheet).
- Connect the anode of the LED chip to the digital pin of the Arduino and the resistance to the other end of the resistance.
- Connect the cathode of the LED chip to ground (GND) through a connection wire.
- Download and install the Arduino software.
- Write a simple sketch to test the functionality of the 3W LED.
- Compile and upload the sketch to Arduino.
- Observe if the light emitted by the LED chip meets the expectations.
Example code
void setup() {
pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(13, LOW);
delay(500);
}
Mini project
Create a portable LED lamp with the 3W LED chip. Use a small container to protect and house the circuit.
Common mistakes
