Control RGB LED for Arduino

About Control RGB LED for Arduino Android App

This app used in combination with an Arduino allows the user to turn on and off an RGB LED. It is designed to be used by teachers who wish to give students an introduction to basic electronics and computer coding.

You will need an Arduino, jumper wires, an RGB LED, and an HC-06 bluetooth device.

The code can be found here:
