I don't use a resistor so it's almost impossible to absolutely control which color you get, but they are fun!</p>

I wonder if anyone could tell me roughly how many of these I could drive with an arduino promo mini without the need for transistors as relays?</p>

In the meantime, here is the pinout from the datasheet. This is a top view of the chip:<br>
6 5 4<br>
| | |<br>
- - -<br>
^ ^ ^<br>
| | |<br>
1 2 3<br>
1 to 6: green<br>
2 to 5: red<br>
3 to 4: blue<br>
There is a mark on the corner nearest pin 1. The Vf on the LEDs is 2.0V for the red, and 3.1V for the green and blue. The absolute max current is 30mA for any LED (I'd keep it at 20mA to extend the life). Hope this helps!</p>

Perhaps this is similar enough to use.<br>

I wanted to see if they would work for a project.<br>
The data sheet is not working for the pin outs and is blank for most of the first few pages. I don't know why.<br>
Could the folks of Spark Fun please post the part number/manufacture so we can at least find a good data sheet. Or post the relevent information on the current consumption and ratings. The voltages you have already put.<br>
I have not tried these for my project just yet.<br>
Thanks again. :)</p>

It's absurdly simple once you've done just one, and after hundreds of these buggers (I have components on the other side of the board), I've only messed up one and that was because I put it on backwards and didn't take the time to hot air it off, so I tore a pad. DERP!</p>

I ended up with 20+ new windows opened and what not. Sparkfun, please store all reference material on your own server space so that we don't have to visit more or less obscure external places of the cyber-world...</p>
