Powering LEDs with Arduino

For the final result of my project, I intent to produce a light installation that is built up from a number of RGB LEDs. In order to fully understand how LEDs are controlled through programming, I decided to start with the basics.

I begun using the Arduino to control basic colour LEDs and create a simple traffic light sequence.

Incorporating processing with Arduino, I was able control multiple LEDs through placing the mouse in a certain area of the screen.

I have started off with the basics, being able to control a colour LED with Arduino and Processing. The next step for me is to understand how RGB LEDs are controlled with the same software.
