Lab 3: Potentiometers

Submitted by lwang on Tue, 02/19/2013 - 19:53

 

Description

The objective of the lab was to control the blinking and fading of 3 LED's with 2 potentiometers. Unfortunately I ran out of time and could only solder one potentiometer, so I've made 3 LEDs blink with only one potentiometer. 
 

Components Used

1- Arduino Uno
1- Breadboard
3- LED (R,G,B)
3- 220Ω Resistor
1- cutton
1-diffuser
1- rubberband
1- potentiometer
several cables
 
 

Code 

 

/*
  Analog Input
 Demonstrates analog input by reading an analog sensor on analog pin 0 and
 turning on and off a light emitting diode(LED)  connected to digital pin 13. 
 The amount of time the LED will be on and off depends on
 the value obtained by analogRead(). 
 
 The circuit:
 * Potentiometer attached to analog input 0
 * center pin of the potentiometer to the analog pin
 * one side pin (either one) to ground
 * the other side pin to +5V
 * LED anode (long leg) attached to digital output 13
 * LED cathode (short leg) attached to ground
 
 * Note: because most Arduinos have a built-in LED attached 
 to pin 13 on the board, the LED is optional.
