How to make and build an Arduino strobe light

I used an arduino duemilianove a bread board and a patentiometer and made a really cool strobe light.arduino is a great microcontroller platform there only 30 bucks and they are really good for all levels of electrical enthusist http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software

would a 500k ohm potentiometer work?

[MrBbtom]

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

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

[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

Thank you soooo freakin much!!!

[lolypopboy777]

it looks like 3 strong LEDs.?

@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.

@MrBbtom thanks

Arduinooooooooooooooooooo
