Unless you already have some

RGB LED strip
Power Supply 12V (Make sure it delivers appropriate amperage for the entire strip length at max brightness!)

Hi. Thank you so much for this incredible tutorial. I noted you added that lines for 10-bit PWM as suggested by J6r06n, I was blowing my head to reshift the values from the number variable but a simple map function can solve this .
But like J6r06n, I also added one more thing to your code. Since I’m using a IRLZ44N MOSFET, when the arduino boots up, the pins are default to input, said to be in a high-impedance state, so the MOSFETS thinks it must turn on, and all colors of my LED strip brights up.
So I simple noted that you don’t have this lines in your void setup, then I added it before Serial.begin line:

With this, after booting, all the color pins are defined as output, low-impedance, after that comes setHex() function, and everything works perfectly!

Thanks daniel, you're welcome! Nice finding, just added this to the sketch.

Good afternoon! tell me how to make a fade effect when turning on and off,
I tried it but when I change any color, it all starts with white
