A green 5 mm LED module from the Octopus Electronic Bricks range. It connects to Arduino or micro:bit via a 3-pin sensor cable for breadboard-free, plug-and-play wiring. Control it with a digital pin (LOW = on, HIGH = off) or use PWM to adjust brightness.
Key Features
- 5 mm Green LED – Standard through-hole LED on a breakout brick
- Plug-and-Play – 3-pin sensor cable connection, no breadboard needed
- Digital or PWM Control – On/off via digital pin, brightness via PWM
- 3.3V and 5V Compatible – Works with Arduino and micro:bit
Specifications
- Voltage – 3.3–5V
- Pin Definition – Signal (yellow), VCC (red), GND (black)
- Weight – 5 g
Ideal For
- Arduino and micro:bit indicator projects
- Learning digital output and PWM control
- Interactive light-based projects
Package Contents
- 1× Octopus 5 mm LED Brick (green)
Resources
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- breakout
- A breakout is a small circuit board that makes a tiny or hard-to-solder component easier to connect to with standard pins. It matters because this OLED module can be wired into a microcontroller project without needing to solder directly to the display’s fine contacts.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- 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.
