RGB Colour Mixer Kit with Arduino Uno + LED
Build an RGB Colour Mixer with Arduino Uno — A Complete Beginner's Kit for Learning PWM and Colour Mixing
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Create a dynamic colour mixer that lets you dial in any shade by turning three knobs. As your first RGB LED project, you’ll wire three potentiometers to control the red, green, and blue channels of an LED, watching it blend into vivid colours right before your eyes. No prior electronics experience needed—all parts are pre-tested and the step-by-step AI companion guides you through every connection.
What You'll Build
You’ll assemble a working circuit on a breadboard that mixes red, green, and blue brightness levels to produce any colour of the rainbow. With three smooth-turn potentiometers, you can fine-tune each channel independently and see the RGB LED respond instantly. It’s a satisfying project that turns simple components into a real-time colour tool.
What You'll Learn
- Generate PWM signals on Arduino pins to dim and brighten LEDs
- Read analog values from potentiometers using analogRead()
- Mix red, green, and blue light channels to create millions of colours
- Troubleshoot breadboard circuits and identify loose connections

Who This Kit Is For
Whether you're a CBSE Class 6–12 student working on an ATL Tinkering Lab project, a B.Tech first-year student in ECE or EEE, or a parent introducing electronics to a child, this kit makes the first step simple and rewarding. It’s designed to meet the needs of Indian learners—from school science exhibitions to foundational engineering coursework—with clear guidance and reliable components.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Your kit includes a QR code linked to an AI companion trained on this exact circuit. It can answer questions, show you wiring diagrams, and suggest troubleshooting steps. If you still need help, reach out over WhatsApp and our support team will assist.
Can I make the colours change automatically without turning the knobs?
Yes! The companion AI can help you modify the code to cycle through colours or create a rainbow fade effect using loops and delays—a great next step after you master manual mixing.
Do I need any soldering or extra tools?
No soldering required. All connections use a breadboard and male-to-male jumper wires. You just need a USB cable (commonly available) to upload the code to the Arduino Uno.
How many colours can I actually create?
With 8-bit PWM control on each channel, you can theoretically mix 16.7 million colours. The three potentiometers give you smooth, real-time control to find exactly the shade you want—great for learning colour theory.
Three pots control Red Green Blue channels of RGB LED to mix any colour. First RGB project.
