In a San Francisco Bay island warehouse, a crack team of engineers, PhD’s and a special effects wizard are inventing the future one prototype at a time. To solve the problems of today, the team imagines the craziest, one-of-a-kind prototypes of tomorrow, and then builds them. Join the PROTOTYPE THIS team on a journey through emerging technology as they invent the future.

Here is an Arduino setup to connect a RGB strip.

// Include Libraries
#include "Arduino.h"
#include "RGBLed.h"


// Pin Definitions
#define LEDSTRIPRGB_PIN_SIGR	9
#define LEDSTRIPRGB_PIN_SIGG	6
#define LEDSTRIPRGB_PIN_SIGB	5



// Global variables and defines
#define LedStripRGB_TYPE COMMON_CATHODE
// object initialization
RGBLed LedStripRGB(LEDSTRIPRGB_PIN_SIGR,LEDSTRIPRGB_PIN_SIGG,LEDSTRIPRGB_PIN_SIGB,LedStripRGB_TYPE);



// define vars for testing menu
const int timeout = 10000;       //define timeout of 10 sec
char menuOption = 0;
long time0;

// Setup the essentials for your circuit to work. It runs first every time your circuit is powered with electricity.
void setup() 
{
    // Setup Serial which is useful for debugging
    // Use the Serial Monitor to view printed messages
    Serial.begin(9600);
    while (!Serial) ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB
    Serial.println("start");
    
    LedStripRGB.turnOff();              // Start with  LED Strip RGB turned off
    menuOption = menu();
    
}

// Main logic of your circuit. It defines the interaction between the components you selected. After setup, it runs over and over again, in an eternal loop.
void loop() 
{
    
    
    if(menuOption == '1') {
    // LED RGB Strip - Bare (1m) - Test Code
    // The LED Strip RGB will turn PURPLE for 500ms(half a second) and turn off
    LedStripRGB.setRGB(160, 3, 255);    // 1. sets LED Strip RGB color to purple. Change the values in the brackets to (255,0,0) for pure RED, (0,255,0) for pure GREEN and (0,0,255) for pure BLUE.
