TinkerKit! PWM. Learning Examples | Foundations | Hacking | Links The Fading example demonstrates the use of analog output (PWM) to fade an LED.

PWM

It is available in the File->Sketchbook->Examples->Analog menu of the Arduino software. Pulse Width Modulation, or PWM, is a technique for getting analog results with digital means. Digital control is used to create a square wave, a signal switched between on and off.

TLC5940

Arduino. Silverlight Developer » Blog Archive TLC5940 16 Channel PWM Driver » Silverlight Developer. I have recently been working with the TLC5940 LED Driver chip.

This provides 16 PWM outputs which can be used to drive common anode LEDs and I suspect motors etc. For the moment I will be using it to drive 16 LEDs to prove the principle and work out how to interface the chip to the Netduino Mini. The article and code contained here should allow the creation of a circuit capable of doing the following (and a whole lot more): Objective The objective of this exercise is to use the TLC5940 to control 16 LEDs under the control of the Netduino Mini.
