Tutorial: How to Use SuperFlux Piranha White LEDs

The SuperFlux Piranha white LEDs are ideal for intense illumination in Arduino projects, 3D printing, and modeling. They are suitable for beginner and intermediate makers.

What you need

• Arduino Uno
• jumper wire
• resistor (check the datasheet)
• protoboard

Steps

1. Check the operating voltage of the LED on the datasheet and choose an appropriate resistor.
2. Connect the LED to the protoboard using jumper wires.
3. Connect the Arduino Uno to the protoboard using jumper wires.
4. Connect the resistor between the Arduino and the LED to limit the current.
5. Upload the example sketch to the Arduino.
6. Power up the circuit and verify that the LED lights up.

Example code

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

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(13, HIGH);   
  delay(1000);              
  digitalWrite(13, LOW);    
  delay(1000);               
}

Mini project

Create a simple alarm system with an LED that turns on when motion is detected.

Common mistakes

• Using a resistor that is too small or too large.
• Connecting the LED to the wrong terminal of the power supply.
• Failing to check the operating voltage of the LED before connecting it.
• Omitting the use of a resistor.

Recommended accessories

• Variable resistors
• LED PWM control modules
• Portable USB power supplies
• PIR motion sensors
