   Ah man… Now your video’s are going to make mine look like childs play! Very nice.

   By the way,
   Super cool idea for the LED’s. But then again… You never cease to impress! Great job.

   Oh, by the way… What editing software are you using? I assume it was done on your Mac?

    Can you help me out… i have a color changing rgb with more than 2 legs, and i think it uses voltage to change colors.. any help
    \?

    @brokenbylaw2 Hi, happy to help. It sounds like the leds that you have would have four legs. One leg is your common anode or cathode. The other three are your red green blue cathodes / anodes. To experiment, connect the longest leg to ground and then connect a resistor to each of the other three legs. Then connect +5 volts to them one at a time they should light up the three different colours. If it doesnt work then reverse all the connections. Let me know how you go.

    @00retrobrad00 by +5 you mean 5 or higher? so like a 9volt with a resistor?

    @brokenbylaw2 a 9 volt battery will be perfect. make sure you use at least a 150 ohm resistor for each of the three legs. You will find as you connect up each leg, you will get a different colour. You can also mix colours bu turning on multiple at a time.

    @00retrobrad00 also, this led is rgb.. so red green blue, and green+blue/blue+red or whatever.. so if i change resistors it will not change colors with the change of voltage as i thought when it ment 5+volts 6+volts 4+volts

    @00retrobrad00 do you know of any easy ways to make it fade in and out of colors.. would a microcontroller be required?

    Hi Brad, I’m impress by the LED you done. Would like to find out something from you. Please contact me via the email is possible. Thanks. Something challenging for you…..

    Cool idea! It’s a very simple thing to do, yet still so impressive. Thanks for the video. It was very easy to follow. I can’t wait to try this out!
