mbed Application Shield

The new application shield has been designed to enable the maximum number of potential experiments with Arduino form factor development boards, keeping as much in common with the mbed application board as possible.

6. RGB LED

An example program that cycles the on board RGB LED through various colours.

Information

The RGB LED is common anode, so that "0" is on, and "1" is off. For PWM, the closer to 0.0 the brighter, the closer to 1.0 the dimmer. use (1.0 - value) to invert.

Import programapp-shield-rgb

Example program to sweep the RGB LED through various colours using PWM
