Objective

This tutorial will teach you using the Processing to control RGB LED, then use a color selector to control the color.

Equipment

• Microduino-Core
• Microduino-FT232R
• Other equipment
  • USB cable one
  • RGB LED one
  • 330Ω resistor one
  • Bread one
  • Breadboard Jumper onebox

Debug

Step 1: Set up hardware system, as follows:

Step 2: Explain the code:

//Display palette function

 void drawShadeWheel() {
   for (int j = 0; j < steps; j++) {
     color[] cols = { 
       color(255-(255/steps)*j, 255-(255/steps)*j, 0), 
       color(255-(255/steps)*j, (255/1.5)-((255/1.5)/steps)*j, 0), 
       color(255-(255/steps)*j, (255/2)-((255/2)/steps)*j, 0), 
       color(255-(255/steps)*j, (255/2.5)-((255/2.5)/steps)*j, 0), 
       color(255-(255/steps)*j, 0, 0), 
       color(255-(255/steps)*j, 0, (255/2)-((255/2)/steps)*j), 
       color(255-(255/steps)*j, 0, 255-(255/steps)*j), 
       color((255/2)-((255/2)/steps)*j, 0, 255-(255/steps)*j), 
       color(0, 0, 255-(255/steps)*j), 
       color(0, 255-(255/steps)*j, (255/2.5)-((255/2.5)/steps)*j), 
       color(0, 255-(255/steps)*j, 0), 
       color((255/2)-((255/2)/steps)*j, 255-(255/steps)*j, 0)
     };
     for (int i = 0; i < segs; i++) {
       fill(cols[i]);
       arc(width/2, height/2, radius, radius, 
       interval*i+rotAdjust, interval*(i+1)+rotAdjust);
     }
     radius -= segWidth;
   }
 }

//Check whether the mouse movement through the interface

 boolean mouseOverRect() { // Test if mouse is over square
   return ((mouseX >= 10) && (mouseX <= 190) && (mouseY >= 10) && (mouseY <=190));
 }

//Got the RGB value, write to pin9,10,11

 void draw() {
   // nothing happens here
   if (mouseOverRect() == true)
   {
     color targetColor = get(mouseX, mouseY);
     // get the component values:
     int r = int(red(targetColor));
     int g = int(green(targetColor));
     int b = int(blue(targetColor));
     // analogWirte to pin
     arduino.analogWrite(9, r);
     arduino.analogWrite(10, g);
     arduino.analogWrite(11, b);
   }
 }

Step 3: Compile the code and download it.

Step 4: After runing, will display a palette, click on the color of your choice, observe the color of the LED light.

Result

A color selector will display on screen, as follows:
