How to make and build an Arduino strobe light

[kcinkcinkcinnick]

can't you just get an LED turn on and off very fast just buy setting it high and low for like 50 microseconds...

Sorry but I lost you, can u make another video that makes it simpler

[Danel1303]

Thank you soooo freakin much!!!

[lolypopboy777]

it looks like 3 strong LEDs.?

[grandtheft884]

would a 500k ohm potentiometer work?

[MrBbtom]

@grandtheft884 yes im pretty sure any potentiometer would work being relatively close in size.

[grandtheft884]

@MrBbtom thanks

@MrBbtom I think response time will suffer - the A/D has capacitance on the input. bigger pots will take longer to charge that up or down.

Arduinooooooooooooooooooo

im the fourth person to like this!!! :D

"Potentiometer." Hence the term 'pots.'

Also, careful w/ the way you claim 'adding more LEDs adds more light' & such, you're obviously adjusting math but this is a reasonable project, otherwise (it works out for you because the LEDs are wired in parallel but if they were in series they'd likely not light up). Never-the-less, this is an alright video.

Good job.

be careful, your are going to burn the pin 13, your lucky you used a white led their Voltage drop is the highest. you should look at mosfets to power that LED. Thanks for the idea

[MrBbtom]

@modkva Pin 13 has a built in resistor.

How fast can the strobe light go? can it flash at 60hz?

[MrBbtom]

@vekin00 I need to change the strength of the petentiometer in the code cuz i think its only set to 40hz if im not mistaking but yes its possible
