Color Mixer

This is a color mixer that uses an RGB LED and 10k variable resistors. by turning the variable resistors you can make a lot of different colors. Even though the white looks pretty good in the picture it does not look really good once you've made it but the other colors look really good.

Supplies

10k variable resistors 3x

100 ohm resistors 1x

rgb LED 1x

9v battery clip 1x

breadboard 1x

jumper wires 6x

this step shows how to attach the wires and the resistor.

Pay close attention to how the pins are lined up on the variable resistors. Each variable resistor controls one of the LED's in the rgb LED. Have fun mixing color.
