![]() ![]() The output is HIGH all the time except for a brief period. ![]() Now you can see that the output is HIGH exactly half the time, and LOW the rest of the time. Let's try analogWrite(127) - half-way from 0 to 255: The output is high for 8 µs, which is exactly 1/256 of 2048 µs which is the period of the timer. You also see that the frequency is 490 Hz which is what the reference page for analogWrite says it will be. You can see that the voltage level is 0V most of the time, and going to 5V for short periods. Here's a screenshot of digitalWrite (LOW):ĪnalogWrite really should have been named PWMwrite since it configures the processor timers to output PWM (pulse-width modulation). For a Uno or Mega that would be 0V or 5V (or close to it). PinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT) // sets the digital pin as outputĭigitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH) // sets the LED onĭigitalWrite(ledPin, LOW) // sets the LED offĭigitalWrite sets the output pin to either LOW or HIGH (where those voltages depend on the V cc of the processor. Here, 5V (or 3.3V on 3.3V boards) for HIGH, 0V (ground) for LOW.Įxample Code: int ledPin = 13 // LED connected to digital pin 13 Value = analogRead(analogIN) // read the value of analogIN (values between from 0 to 1023)ĪnalogWrite(outLed, value/4) // sets the read value on outLed (values between from 0 to 255)ĭigitalWrite: The digitalWrite() method sets the value of a digital pin as HIGH or LOW. PinMode(outLed, OUTPUT) // set the PWM pin as OUTPUT Int value = 0 //variable to store the read value Val: int value of duty cycle between from 0(always off) to 255(always on)Įxample Code: int outLed = 10 //LED connected to digital pin 10 The analogWrite() is on a scale of 0 - 255, such that analogWrite(255) requests a 100% duty cycle (always on), and analogWrite(127) is a 50% duty cycle (on half the time).

If I comment out the second "analogWrite(3, 200)", the LED on PIN 2 become darker (as it is using the value = 5).Įach of this PINs work fine with 1 LED, dimming is working as expected. I use the Elegoo board from the Most complete Starter Kit MEGA 2560 Project.Īnd the connection of 2 LEDs to the Pins 2 and 3 by 220 ohm resistors result in Dimming the first one (PIN2) to 200 brightness, and disabling the second one (PIN3).įirst I though that maybe there is too much current flow and I tried to use an NPN connected by a 10k resistor to base. As I saw some people mentioning analogWrite() bugs some time ago I got my first now too. ![]()
