Fading an LED

Now we're moving off the Arduino microcontroller and onto the breadboard....

• this diagram demonstrates how electricity moves on the board - note that the inner channels move up and down and the outer channels move side to side



• Breadboards give us more room to work! Things can get crowded quickly on an Arduino

Fading an LED

Now we're moving off the board!

Fading An LED: Analog Blink

• Comment out //digitalWrite code and insert analogWrite instead.
• HIGH and LOW are replaced with a range from 0 to 255. (LOW = OFF = 0 | HIGH = ON = 255)
• Analog OUTPUTS are 2^8 bit information, aka 256 values, 0-255 inclusive.

Fading An LED: For Loops

• Use a for loop to repeat a command or process through an iteration.
• for loops require the use of { }
• Here we will have our LED Fade ON.

Fading An LED: Fading On and Off

• Copy the for Loop you use to Fade On the LED and change the parameters to go in the opposite direction.
