Description
KY-016 RGB LED Module (FZ0455) for Arduino DIY
The Smart Electronics KY-016 RGB LED Module (FZ0455) is a versatile 4-pin RGB LED sensor module designed for Arduino and other microcontrollers. This module contains red, green, and blue LEDs that can be combined to produce a wide range of colors. By adjusting the duty cycle of each LED using PWM (Pulse Width Modulation), you can create almost any color output.
This makes the KY-016 module ideal for DIY projects, Arduino starter kits, learning electronics, and creative lighting applications.

Arduino Example Code:
int redPin = 9;
int greenPin = 10;
int bluePin = 11;
void setup() {
pinMode(redPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(greenPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(bluePin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
analogWrite(redPin, 255); // Red ON
analogWrite(greenPin, 0);
analogWrite(bluePin, 0);
delay(1000);
analogWrite(redPin, 0); // Green ON
analogWrite(greenPin, 255);
analogWrite(bluePin, 0);
delay(1000);
analogWrite(redPin, 0); // Blue ON
analogWrite(greenPin, 0);
analogWrite(bluePin, 255);
delay(1000);
analogWrite(redPin, 255); // White (all ON)
analogWrite(greenPin, 255);
analogWrite(bluePin, 255);
delay(1000);
}
