Intro :

Generating outputs with varied control such as brightness, speed or position requires an analogWrite value and a PWM signal

An efficient way of programming incrementing changes to this value is by using a for loop

In this example there is a Functional Error in the code which successfully compiles but results in an unexpected behaviour from the LED. Try decifer where the issue arises.

Fading LED :

Pins

LED = D11

---------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Reflect :

Press the 'Start Simulation' button and observe the output in this example. What is the LED doing?

In this example ...

Why is the simulation showing a static on LED?

Why is the LED not fading?

How would you adapt the code blocks to get a 'fading' output?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------->

Edit it :

Tinker this example

Edit the code blocks to turn the static LED into a fading one

Select this link to open the dashboard in a seperate tab. Then press the code button to edit the blockly or text-based code. Press start simulation to see the changes in action.
