Arduino kits come with a neat technology called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) built in. PWM enables you to control the brightness of LEDs or control the speed of a motor instead of just switching them on or off. The possibilities are endless!
If you’re looking to get started with PWM, a great entry point would be a 555 PWM circuit, Arduino PWM circuit (very convenient, as you can easily modify its behaviour via a simple source code modification), orthe MSP30 PWM circuit that I wrote about on Kompulsa. How Does PWM Work?
In this Arduino Tutorial we will learn how to use the TLC5940 PWM Driver using the Arduino Board. The TLC5940 is a 16-Channel LED Driver which provides PWM outputs and it’s perfect for extending the Arduino PWM capabilities. Not just LEDs, but with this IC we can also control servos,...
This tutorial will provide the essential details about the Potentiometer and how to use Arduino to control LED brightness with the Potentiometer. You will learn how to generate the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) with different duty cycles to adjust the brightness of LED with potentiometer. With PWM ...

Arduino Tutorials Welcome to the second Arduino Tutorial from our Arduino Tutorial Series. In this tutorial we will learn how the Digital Input and Output pins work and we will make few examples using Buttons and LEDs. Also we will learn what is PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) and make examples...
The table above shows the WGM mode settings that can be used to generate PWM signals using the ‘Fast PWM’ method. The range and resolution of signal frequencies possible is different depending on the method used to generate the signal, what Timer/Counter is used, and what resources it has...
The control signals of servos are PWM at 50Hz frequency. The pulse width of the signal determines the position of the actuator arm. A typical hobby servo motor operates from 1 to 2 milliseconds pulse width. Applying 1 ms pulse width control signal will keep the actuator at 0 degree position...
PWM GPIO pins All general-purpose input output pins can be used to generate PWM except digital input pins fromGPIO pins 34-39. Because these pins cannot be used as digital output pins. PWM signals are digital output signals. The maximum frequency of these PWM pins is 80 MHz. you can conf...
A simple differential amplifier, realized with an op amp, is used to remove the 0.55 V offset and to amplify the output signal in order to reach the desired value. The following figure shows the scheme of this circuit: To generate the voltage Vp = 0.55 V, that is, the minimum value of...
