Yet another Arduino LED fade effect. Similar to Arduino – LED linear fade. However, this one is using logarithmic scale for the delay time. It gives a nice “breathing” LED light effect. With properly adjusted settings it can look like a sleep LED effect in a macbook. This example Arduino project lights the basic LED connected in series with … Read more
This article explains how to make an example Arduino project that lights the basic LED (connected in series with resistor to pin 11) using linear fade effect. To build a nice fade effect you need to know how to change the LED brightness, first. The complete code is also on GitHub, here. Linear Fade effect changes the LED brightness … Read more
This article shows how to use PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) to control LED brightness. Arduino boards based on ATmega328 have up to 6 hardware PWM channels mapped to pins 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 11 @490 Hz (pins 5 and 6: 980 Hz). Thanks to Arduino API (analogWrite) we can easly control these PWM channels. … Read more
Yet another Arduino blinking LED example. This one is using BasicLed class to make the LED control more comfortable. The code is on Github, here. Parts Required arduino board (i.e. Arduino/Genuino UNO) basic LED (i.e. on-board LED) Software This code is written in C++ and can be compiled using an Arduino IDE. All information about how to compile this project is here. … Read more
This is another quick how-to guide of making a minimalist development board for AVR. This time is about MBAVR-3 development board designed for megaAVR MCUs like ATmega8, ATmega88, ATmega168 or ATmega328. It is a 3rd project in series of MBAVR familly home-made boards in order to create an nice environment for rapid development. I did … Read more
