What you need

• 4 Blue SuperFlux Piranha 5mm LEDs
• Current limiting resistor
• Power supply cable
• Multimeter (optional)

Steps

1. 1. Check the maximum recommended current on the datasheet (check the datasheet).
2. 2. Select a current limiting resistor (check the datasheet).
3. 3. Connect an LED to the power circuit, with the positive pole to a 5V pin.
4. 4. Connect the negative pole of the LED to the resistor.
5. 5. Connect the other end of the resistor to GND.
6. 6. Repeat for the remaining 3 LEDs.
7. 7. Check the current draw with the multimeter (optional).
8. 8. Turn on the LEDs to verify operation.

Mini project

Create an emergency signal with 4 blue blinking LEDs. Connect the LEDs to an Arduino PWM pin and use a sketch to make them blink.

Common mistakes

• Forget to use a current-limiting resistor (check the datasheet).
• Connect the LED in reverse polarity.
• Forget to check the current with a multimeter (optional).
• Use a wrong voltage level (check the datasheet).

Recommended accessories

• Arduino
• 5V and GND pins
• 1kΩ resistor
• Multimeter (optional)

Frequently asked questions

How to calculate the current-limiting resistor?
Use the formula: R = (Vcc – Vf) / If, where Vcc is the supply voltage, Vf is the forward voltage of the LED, and If is the desired forward current.

Can I connect multiple LEDs in series?
Yes, but make sure the maximum current does not exceed the recommended value.

Do I need an LED driver?
No, these LEDs can be powered directly.

How can I control LEDs with a microcontroller?
Connect the LEDs to a PWM pin and control the oscillation frequency to make them blink.
