Title: Can anyone give me some suggestions on this circuit design?
Post by: qbgjkls on March 23, 2017, 02:02:57 am
I have the following circuit designed to drive 3 PWM pins off a 3v3 Arduino Pro Mini -- one pin for each of R, G, B in this set of 5 RGB LEDs.

(http://forum.electronicsforu.com/filedata/fetch?id=35851&d=1486545221&type=full)

At first ,my questions are:

Is this a reasonable design?

How do I determine the resistor settings for both the base transistor resistors (2N3904 (http://www.kynix.com/uploadfiles/pdf8798/2N3904.pdf)), and the LED resistors?

Is there a way to simplify/minimise on power wastage, resistor usage, etc?

Then I looked into some books and websites and I figured out some ideas.But I'm not sure if I'm right.
So please give me some suggestions.Thanks a lot!

hi, can you share the bigger circuit schematic picture? i can barely see anything.
