Task:
Controlling the LEDs using 2 or more potentiometers.
Description:
I used 3 pots to control 3 LEDs. I used the example code "as is" :2a_Control3LEDsWith3Pots.txt
For a diffuser I used a seashell.
Components:
3 potentiometers, Arduino Board, Solder, USB Cord,
Red, Blue, and Green LEDs, Wires, Rubber Band, Photograph.
* components used: arduino board, resistors, 3 potentiometers and 3 LEDs
* description:
3 LEDs are blinking in the same phase. pot #0 controls the brightness of all 3 LEDs, pot#1 controls the frequency of all 3 LEDs' blinking, pot#2 is changing the phase and brightness of blinking LEDs by turning on one LED with the brightness commanded by pot#2 , while other two LEDs are off. It starts from red and goes to green, blue, and then red ..

Description
I programmed the microcontroller to control the 3 LEDs with 3 potentiometers. The hex value the LEDs are displaying is printed to Serial.
I used the code posted on the website without modifying. Below are links to the lights in action
One pot fading light:

Two pots bliking and fading (option 1):

I slightly modified the code for Option 1.
After completing option 1, I decided I wanted each pot to control its own LED. So Pot1 controls the blinking of the blue LED, whereas Pot2 controls the dimming of the green LED.
