How to Create Tens of Thousands of Colors Using a C Program

CSEF · 2007 Mathematics & Software

Davit Javadian · Chamlian (Vahan & Anoush) Armenian School, Glendale, Los Angeles County

Overview

Objectives/Goals I hypothesize that by using a C program to increase or decrease the intensity of each one of the red, green, and blue LEDs and mixing the three colors, I can create tens of thousands of different colors. Methods/Materials Select a color from the Color Gamut. Then edit the C program to generate the color. Save the file and compile the C program. Program the PSoC chip. Place a color mixing chamber on top of the LEDs. Then run the program in the Demo Board. Repeat this process 6 times. Results It was found that in a C Program by varying the intensity of the red, green and blue LEDs one can produce tens of thousands of various colors in the color mixing chamber. The C program mixed proper amounts of each one of the three colors.

Summary statement

Create different colors by changing and combining intensities of red, green, and blue LEDs using a C program.

Help received

My father helped me with debugging the C program.
