/*
Fading LED
This example shows how to fade an LED using the analogWrite() function.
The circuit:
- LED attached from digital pin 9 to ground through 220 ohm resistor.
*/
int ledPin = 9; // LED connected to digital pin 9
void setup() {
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
// fade in from min to max in increments of 5 points:
for (int fadeValue = 0; fadeValue <= 255; fadeValue += 5) {
// sets the value (range from 0 to 255):
analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
// wait for 30 milliseconds to see the dimming effect
delay(30);
}
// fade out from max to min in increments of 5 points:
for (int fadeValue = 255; fadeValue >= 0; fadeValue -= 5) {
// sets the value (range from 0 to 255):
analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue);
// wait for 30 milliseconds to see the dimming effect
delay(30);
}
