This video demonstrates how to use RGBLEDs with Raspberry Pi GPIO and Python. I spend much of the tutorial explaining what RGBLEDs are and how to build a circuit for Raspberry Pi GPIO for both common cathode and common anode RGBLED types. This explanation is followed with a beginner explanation of Python code used with RGBLEDs with additional examples of more advanced projects.

Use the following command in Raspberry Pi OS Terminal to download all code from this tutorial:
git clone https://github.com/mheidenreich/rgb-p...
