==Examples==














Tricolour LEDs generally have four pins and come in both common anode and common cathode configurations and must be wired to suit. The tricolour LED component should have a property allowing you to configure which LED type your using.

An active high LED will light when the microcontroller pin is outputting a logic 1 and be off when the microcontroller pin is outputting a logic 0 or in input mode.


An active low LED will light when the microcontroller pin is outputting a logic 0 and be off when the microcontroller pin is outputting a logic 1 or in input mode.


Six pin tricolour LEDs can simply be treated as three individual standards LEDs.


The series resistor acts to protect each individual LED from damage due to excess current. The value of resistor used can be changed based on the brightness of the LED and power consumption. Usually the three colour LEDs have different characteristics from each other so a different protection resistor should be provided for each LED to balance the LEDs output.


This LED Calculator tool is a good resource for calculating the correct LED series protection resistor.
