RGB LED Shield diagrams for documentation purposes

17 Dec 2014

For those creating projects with the RGB LED ShieldRGB LED Shield, hopefully these images can come in handy.

They are attached to the bottom of this post in two versions - white background and transparent background.

I can't take credit for the Arduino Uno diagram, I found that on the Internet (not sure of the original source, it was in many places - and just edited it slightly).

Hi Parker, Can you try the program called RGBLED_2_SAFE.ino ? I tried that, with LEDs connected to the red channel only, and they worked, see the post here: RGB LED Shield from Infineon - Getting Started…

Yes that file did not seem to have anything to hookup to. But shabaz 's Inkscape file worked once I deleted the big white rectangle from it.

I do not beleive there is a minimum current limit for the Infineon board, it is simply the set constant current in the demo sketch, the board is actually programable for almost any current up to the MAX…

Hello,

So I am currently working with the shield, but have run into some trouble. I am trying to power a single red LED using the red LED channel from the board. I am using a 9 volt battery as the power source for the shield. I have tried running the example codes provided by infineon. However, those are not working to power the LED, neither will my manipulated code that is only supposed to drive only the red LED channel. You can find the manipulated code here. I am not sure what is wrong, almost positive it is a case of user error, but any guidance would be helpful!

Thank You!

It's disappointing that Fritzing part creation is tightly linked to Inkscape layers ; (
As much as I love Inkscape, it's a shame there is no method of importing an SVG or PNG into some Fritzing part creator and then just click where circuit/component nodes are needed.
I think even Visio allows that - you can have a graphic image, and click where you want to define nodes for attaching lines/connections for example, and then save it as a Visio component (from memory - been ages since I used Visio).
