--- Quote from: Nephasth on April 30, 2013, 01:04:22 pm ---Why didn't you just buy white LEDs? All your ground wires (R, G, B) from the LEDs get wired to ground (black wire) on your power supply. All your power wires from the LEDs get wired to 5V (red wire) on your power supply. --- End quote --- Any idea why this isn't working for me ? I get a very dim pink glow. I want bright white for a marquee light. |

If that's the case, the LED is probably toast. The same can happen if using incorrect values for the resistors, based on the voltage you are providing to them. |
