Tutorial: How to use Red SuperFlux Piranha 5mm LEDs

The Red SuperFlux Piranha 5mm LEDs are perfect for anyone who wants to add strong red illumination to electronic projects, such as status indicators or decorative elements in 3D printing. They are particularly suitable for beginners due to their ease of use.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• Resistor (check the datasheet)
• Jumper cable

Steps

1. Connect the resistor between the output pin of the Arduino and the anode of the LED.
2. Connect the cathode of the LED to the GND of the Arduino using a jumper cable.
3. Open Arduino IDE and upload a simple sketch to turn on the LED.
4. Verify that the LED turns on when the Arduino pin is set as output HIGH.

Example code

void setup() {
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);
}

Mini project

Create a simple alarm system with a red LED that turns on when motion is detected. Use a PIR sensor and connect it to the circuit.

Common mistakes

• Using a resistor that is too small can damage the LED.
• Connect the anode and cathode of the LED in reverse.
• Do not verify the correct operating voltage for the LED in the datasheet.

Recommended accessories

• Variable resistors
• PIR sensor
• 3D Printed Cases
