Playing with the PWM LED fader function. Even hooked up the scope so we could see what was happening.

  • what's PWM?

  • @Grundalizer

    It is Pulse Width Modulation.

  • Change vert. sensitivity to give larger vert. size to the signal.

    Adjust trigger (try "Auto) and change the "Level" until the signal stabilizes.

    Should give you a stable display.

    (FWIW: it's "L-E-D", not "lead". ;-) )

  • @glyph000

    L-E-D or Lead who cares. If you're gonna nitpick try someone who gives a fuck.

  • What happens if you connect the PWM out to a 1K resistor to a 10uf-100uf cap with a 10k resistor across it on the scope?

    Technically it should be a smooth sine up and down.

  • @smeezekitty

    Hmm, I'l have to try that. Thanks!

  • haha, I thought you said, "hey I wanna check out your chode"

  • "LED" is usually enunciated as "ell-ee-dee". just say the letters L, E, and D.

    I'm not trying to be an asshole, but most people don't enunciate LED as you do.

    again, I don't want to come off as snobby or ass-hole-ish.

  • @rtty21 I usually say L.E.D. but sometimes i just like to say led, sorry it just makes it seems easier to say it like that and it just feels more natural that way.

  • You should probably do some gamma correction on those pwm levels :)

  • u sound like kevin from the office

  • that is called a duty cycle ! it varies from 0 to 100% ..

  • Turn off the DC filter on the O-Scope, it dramatizes the PWM display.
