The Digital Piranha LED Module (Yellow) is a bright LED module designed for Arduino and compatible microcontroller boards. Control it via a digital pin (LOW = on, HIGH = off) or use PWM output to adjust brightness for interactive light projects.
The module uses a piranha (superflux) LED, which provides wide-angle illumination thanks to its four-pin flat package design.
Key Features
- Piranha LED – Wide viewing angle superflux LED in yellow
- Digital Control – Simple on/off via digital pin, or PWM for brightness adjustment
- 3-Pin Interface – Plug-and-play connection with included digital cable
- 3.3–5 V Compatible – Works with both 3.3 V and 5 V logic boards
Specifications
- LED Colour – Yellow
- Operating Voltage – 3.3–5 V
- Pin Definition – 1: Signal, 2: GND, 3: VCC
- Weight – 5 g
Package Contents
- 1× Digital Piranha LED Module (Yellow)
- 1× Digital sensor cable
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- GND
- GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
- VCC
- VCC is the positive power-supply connection on a chip or module. Connecting it to the correct supply voltage is needed for the part to power on and helps avoid damaging the electronics.
