In this article, we connect an KY-034 7 color flashing LED to an Arduino Uno
If the KY-034 7 color flashing LED module is supplied with voltage, a color sequence is automatically emitted by the LED. The LED has 7 different colors and thus also all resulting mixed colors.
Working voltage | 3V — 5V DC |
LED model | YB-3120B4PnYG-PM |
LED type | 5mm round head |
Parts Required
You can connect to the module using dupont style jumper wire.
This should work with other Arduino board – I have tried an Uno and Mega

Schematic/Connection
Connect the signal pin (S) to pin 13 on the Arduino, then connect the ground pin (-) to GND.
The middle pin and the (-) pin are connected on this particular module, and they both act as ground.
Code Example
int ledPin = 11; // pin to control KY-034 void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // define pin as output } void loop() { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn LED on delay(3000); // wait for 3 seconds digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn LED off delay(1000); // wait for a second }
Serial Monitor Output
N/A
