Story

My project is about making a circuit and coding an arduino to change the color of an RGB LED from pink to purple in a loop. its called "Vaporwave RGB LED" cause those colors are usually associated with vaporwave styles and aesthetics. I decided to make it because i like the style of vaporwave and i just wanted to do something fun with it's main colors. it works by using a microcontroller to execute code that changes the color of an RGB LED.

Code

code for vaporwave rgb led

#define red_light_pin 11
#define green_light_pin 10
#define blue_light_pin 9

int red_light_value = 15;
int green_light_value = 0;
int blue_light_value = 240;

void setup() {
  pinMode(red_light_pin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(green_light_pin, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(blue_light_pin, OUTPUT);
  //Serial.begin(9600);
}

void RGB_color(int red_light_value, int green_light_value, int blue_light_value){
  analogWrite(red_light_pin, red_light_value);
  analogWrite(green_light_pin, green_light_value);
  analogWrite(blue_light_pin, blue_light_value);
}

void loop() {
  for (;red_light_value < 240; ++red_light_value, --blue_light_value){
    RGB_color(red_light_value, green_light_value, blue_light_value);
    delay(20);
    //Serial.println(blue_light_value);
  }
  for (;red_light_value > 15; --red_light_value, ++blue_light_value){
    RGB_color(red_light_value, green_light_value, blue_light_value);
    delay(20);
    //Serial.println(blue_light_value);
  }
}
