Summary of Multifunction RGB LED controller using PIC12F675
This article describes a low-cost, multifunction RGB LED controller built around the PIC12F675 microcontroller. It features five operational modes controlled by a single potentiometer and button, including automatic color cycling, manual hue selection, temperature indication, white light dimming, and an OFF state. The system also includes EEPROM memory to retain the last selected mode upon power-up.
Parts used in the Multifunction RGB LED Controller:
- PIC12F675 microcontroller
- 8 pin base
- BD139-3 transistor
- 1uF capacitor
- 330 Ohm resistor (x3)
- 470 Ohm 1A resistor
