We will now connect all of the components to match what is shown below.

This design uses a Common Anode LRD. You can use a Common Cathode LED, but you will need to change the Arduino code accordingly.
  1. Connect the 3V pin to the + side of the breadboard.
  2. The longest pin of the LED needs to connect with the 3V pin.
  3. Pin #2 will connect to the Red pin on the LED.
  4. The Blue pin sould connect with pin #4.
  5. Connect pin #5 to the Green pin.

This can be powered through the FTDI cable, but you may want to add a battery or other power supply by connecting it to the GND and VBat pins.

Now it's time to code.
