This is tutorial number 1 from our series of Arduino tutorials and in this part I will talk about blinking an LED using the one already available on the Arduino Uno board or using an external LED to ...

You can fade out and fade in the light of an LED automatically by using Arduino and a simple code that is described below. Even though the Arduino board cannot output variable voltage on its digital ...

Here’s an Arduino library that will let you drive a very large number of LEDs. [Elco Jacobs], an electrical engineering student, is the author of the library. He has a work-study job that has him ...

Many of us know the basic Blink Arduino sketch, or have coded similar routines on other microcontrollers. Flashing an LED on and off—it doesn’t get much simpler than that. But how big should a blink ...

An earlier Idea For Design (“Hardware-Based LED Blinking Control Eliminates Software Overhead,” Sept. 27, 2007, p. 52) described a very interesting way to offload the software overhead required for a ...
