This project demonstrates how to control the brightness of an LED using Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) on an Arduino Uno. The LED smoothly fades in and out by changing the PWM duty cycle on digital pin ...
Looking for a simple circuit to control the light intensity of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) or similar lighting sources? Here is an Arduino based circuit with three independent pulse width modulated ...
This project uses an ultrasonic sensor and an Arduino to measure distance and dynamically control the brightness of an LED. As an object moves closer to the sensor, the LED becomes brighter. As the ...
In a previous article, I discussed LEDs in general and their properties. In this write-up, I want to give some examples of driving LEDs and comparing a few of the most commonly used methods. There is ...
I have spent at least an hour almost every day since the 80’s advancing my knowledge in electronics. Recently I brushed up my knowledge on LED fading secrets and attained something pleasant. Now, I’d ...
Usually, an MCU is considered a digital device. By default, its output voltage level can be either high or low and nothing in between. With the requirement to create an LED brightness control, the ...
