Hi everyone, im having a great deal of trouble trying to sync 2 of the RGB leds i have for my robots eyes.
Just spent the last 2hrs, and some other days trying to get them to sync, so i thought it best i turn the ezb off and ask for assistance because its greatly delaying my current project...and meanwhile giving me zero confidence to start the next project for if i can't sync 2 leds... tired
Ive been close with it, but then they stray off and start to do their own thing, no matter what i do i just can't get them to join in holy matrimony.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, ive spent around 3-4 hrs total trying to figure it out as embarrassing as it is for me to say..and the more i try it seems to all go backwards and becomes much worse than when i started.
i think each pin has a white (signal) that one goes whit the pwm. idd they dont cycle like 2 pin.am also still confused. you have 4 pins 1 goes to red (vcc) and 3 signal,where does the black one come from ?
I ran each color to the pins on D0 & D1, after that i became a little confused, for i had a 4th wire, so i ran that to another pin.
I simply don't understand the wiring aspect of it. 4 wires, only 3 pins to connect to, which is why i opted to go with just the one led for i'm out of my depth with this.
So my avatar really suits now doesn't it?
Why don't you just buy this for $20? 18LED RGB PCB Use it as eyes (JD does) then you can have all the colour combinations you wish synced up nicely with not one line of code... Also it's plug and play...
do you have a link for 3.3 volt rgb leds ?
No i don't have a link, i bought them from my local hobby shop.
I'm happy with having just one eye for this one Nomad, its becoming more of a hassle to get these led's working than the other one's, its going to make wiring messy also.

i have one of those.am rebuilding a robot v2 and try to learn how to do.
@Richard,
thanks but those leds wouldn't suit my project at the moment, for another one they would be great.

Did you read my posts ?
Post 14 # has 2 common cathode 4 pins RGB lights similar to yours. It's not clear the wiring ?
What you mean with cycle ? Is on/off, blink, different colors ?
Post #15 has two examples:
Post #18: has a blink example.
Did you tried them, do you have doubts, what's the result ?
