Setting Analog PWM
PWM I/O Pins
We are going to work with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
Take note which pins support PWM on the Arduino Uno:
Re-wire LED Circuit
Let's review the LED wiring once again, as we will need an external LED to play dimmer effects on.
Code Levels of LED Brightness
255 is the max value for PWM or Analog Output
Why 255?
It has to do with how numbers are stored in binary formats in a computer memory.
If we store a number in 8-bits of memory we can represent 256 discrete integers: 0-255
Add more Brightness Levels
Say we wanted 3 levels:
- OFF
- %50 bright
- %100 ON
What would the code for the extra brightness level look like?
