How to Use
- Connect the long lead (anode) to the positive supply through a current-limiting resistor.
- Connect the short lead (cathode) to ground.
- Use a resistor between 330E–1K depending on supply voltage.
- For microcontrollers, connect via GPIO pins ensuring current < 20mA.
- For brightness control, PWM can be used from microcontroller pins.
