This board is built upon a RISC-V ISA compliant VEGA Processor with easy-to-use hardware and software.

The RGB LED is connected directly to the microcontroller, allowing users to control each color channel through software without any external wiring. It is useful for status indication, notifications, debugging, and learning PWM-based color mixing in embedded and IoT applications. On the ARIES IoT Board, the RGB LED pins are Red (GPIO24), Green (GPIO22), and Blue (GPIO23), and the LEDs are active-low, meaning a LOW signal turns the corresponding LED ON.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prerequisites<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Windows 10 or above\/Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or above<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Arduino IDE <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>VEGA ARIES Board support package<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Components Required<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>ARIES IoT v2.0 Board<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>USB type C cable<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Circuit Diagram<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No external connections required to test this code.
