RGB Led color control

I looked and the only thread on this I could find involved using the Shiftbright module.

Is it possible to program the prop-1 to color mix a RGB led? For example, using 3 pots to find a good color level on each of the 3 colors, and then being able to use those values to program the changing of the color to 3 different preset values.  I know it could not be faded between the colors, but being able to jump between colors would be cool.

If you have individual LEDs or a common anode (+) RGB LED then yes -- you've seen our "Mood Skull" prop and that's what we're doing.  Since LEDs have different brightness LEDs you'll want to use the current limiter (one per color) to balance the output level and then use three pins to control them.

You do have some limited control of color fading: you can, with PWM, fade one channel at a time -- again, this is what we do with the mood skull.
