Hi,

I am looking help to understand following code because I do not understand programming for Arduino

https://tkkrlab.nl/wiki/Arduino_KY-029_Yin_Yi_2-color_LED_module_3MM

I have PIC18F45K80. I am using MPLABX 5.40 and XC8 2.30

Code:
// Arduino test code:
int redpin = 11; // select the pin for the red LED
int bluepin = 10; // select the pin for the blueLED
int val;
 
void setup () {
  pinMode (redpin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode (bluepin, OUTPUT);
  Serial.begin (9600);
}
 
void loop () {
 for(val=255;val>0;val--) {
   analogWrite (11, val);
   analogWrite (10, 255 - val);
   delay(5);
 }
 for(val=255;val<255;val++) {
    analogWrite (11, val);
    analogWrite (10, 255 - val);
   delay(5);
 }
}

There are two for loop in code. I do not understand What's happening inside For loop for Two color LED's?

Thanks for any help

See here:
analogWrite()
delay()

Arduino code is a dialect of C++, easy to understand.

I don't understand what's happening in inside loop for LED controlling. LED can give red or green color at a time. I am trying to understand what's the logic needed to get different color from LED

simple I want a blue light on /off for 2 seconds and red light on /off for 2 seconds repeat process. Can you tell me logic for this ?

my plan for different color

BLUE_Pin = ON
RED_Pin = OFF
Wait for 2 seconds
BLUE_Pin = OFF
RED_Pin = ON
Wait for 2 seconds
Repeat process ..

Is my plan okay if its then I will write code ?

AnalogWrite() can output an analog value between 0 V (data = 0) and 5 V (data = 255) any value in between will make the LED shine more or less bright. If you simply need on/off, replace analogWrite by a digital output of 0 or 1 to the output pin the LED is connected.
Can you tell me logic for this ?
Your list shows the logic.

Why do you keep looking up Arduino Code if you don't understand it and can't use it? Search for PIC code instead, that'll help you much more.

What is a "current limiting register"?
Do you mean current limiting resistor? Yes, you do. See here.

Here is my code Big LED doesn't show any light only small led is blinking

Hello,

Where are the leads going to?
I only see the module and not the other connections.
To test the module, connect the left pin to ground and the middle pin to +5 Volts.
The red led should be lit.
The other test is the left pin to ground and the right pin to + 5 Volts.
The green led should be lit.
When the middle and right pins are both connected to + 5 Volts, both leds will be on and the led will shine an orange like color.

I have done as you said but no luck

Please look at attached screenshot. Yellow connected to ground

Hello,

That is strange.
It could be the module is damaged.
Wich module do you have?
The KY-011 or the KY-029?

https://arduinomodules.info/ky-029-dual-color-led-module/

Bertus
Its difficult to find which one I have, because nothing is written on the board

Back to post #1 I think I should try the example code of Arduino But I do not understand the Arduino program. I have searched the sample code for the pic which I am not getting on internet.

If someone can tell me the logic of Arduino program, then I can write program for pic

Hello,

The arduino code is fading from red to green and from green to red and so on.
The delay between each fade step is 5 mSec.
The total cyclus is 2 times 256 steps of 5 mSec.
So the total cyclus is about 2.5 seconds.

Hello,

I am thinking, perhaps you module uses an other kind of led and does not follow the connections of the arduino modules.

Bicolor_LED_cross_section_three_pin_version 600px.jpg

Try the middle pin to ground and the left or right via a 220 Ohms resistor to the + 5 Volts.

I did the connection as you said. Red light is turning on.

Hello,

Then the right pin should light the green led.
