-**PWM Note:** While Red and green are connected to pins that support PWM, Blue is not - this is because the 3rd PWM pin is used by the USB communications and we figure most will want to use the RGB shield with USB communication. See Examples->DigisparkRGB->DigisparkRGB or Examples->DigisparkUSB->DigiBlink for examples of using software PWM for pin 2 (Blue).

-If you are not planning to use USB communication: If you want to connect blue to P4 instead of P2 - flip the shield over and you'll see two solder jumpers, one has a little trace connecting its two pads, the other does't - cut the one with the trace and bridge the other with solder this will disconnect blue from P2 and connect it to P4.

+In the Arduino IDE, take a look at the Examples -> DigisparkRGB -> DigisparkRGB example for more advanced usage. When using that example you must set your board type as Digispark (Tiny Core) for it to work.
