Hello,
Im not sure if its even possible but I have been trying to mix colors using a single Tricolor RGB LED. For example I would like to have Red and Blue to make Purple etc. I do not have an Arduino, only an Electronics Learning Lab.
I believe I have the Common Anode, 4 prong type. I am able to make each individual color so I know the LED is in working condition however I cant figure out how to mix the color.
Im hooked up to 3v and am using a single 1kΩ resistor. Anode is wired to the resistor and then to 3v. I can jump each color prong to ground individually to emit a single color but when I jump two colors to ground I only get one color. Also I tried jumping from red to blue then from blue to ground but only get red (if that makes sense).
Any help would be great if its even possible.
Thanks
