Lesson 6--Microduino "Breathing Light"

Objective The last two experiment uses the external device to generate PWM to control the LED, how to control the LED by program instead of the external device? This lesson will give you an example. This experiment implemented an led fadein dimming, named breathing lamp. Equipment Microduino-Core Microduino-FT232R Other hardware equipment Breadboard Jumper one box Breadboard one piece LED Light-emitting diodes one 220Ω resistor one USB Data cable one Experimental schematic 文件:第六课-原理图.jpg 600px Using high level lighting, the output also need connect to Microduino's PWM I/O port. If use the low level lighting, it has the same result. Program int ledPin=11;//D3、D5、D6、D9、D10、D11 is Microduino PWM I/O output port void setup() { } void loop(){ for(int fadeValue=0;fadeValue<=255;fadeValue+=5) //Increase PWM value, control the LED brightness by adjusting the value of fadeValue. { analogWrite(ledPin,fadeValue); //Write the brightness value to LED. delay(30); //Keep the current brightness 30ms. } for(int fadeValue=255;fadeValue>=0;fadeValue-=5) //Decrease PWM value,control the LED brightness by adjusting the value of fadeValue. { analogWrite(ledPin,fadeValue); //Write the brightness value to LED. delay(30); //Keep the current brightness 30ms. } } Program uses the loop statement, it's convenient to automatically control the brightness of the leds. Result LED lights from off to on softly then off, followed by cycle. Video
