View source for Arduino: Fade

This example demonstrates the use of the analogWrite() function in fading an LED off and on. AnalogWrite uses pulse width modulation (PWM), turning a digital pin on and off very quickly with different ratio between on and off, to create a fading effect.

==Hardware Required==

* Arduino or Genuino board
* LED
* 220 ohm resistor
* hook-up wires
* breadboard

 /*
  Fade
 
  This example shows how to fade an LED on pin 9
  using the analogWrite() function.
 
  The analogWrite() function uses PWM, so if
  you want to change the pin you're using, be
  sure to use another PWM capable pin. On most
  Arduino, the PWM pins are identified with
  a "~" sign, like ~3, ~5, ~6, ~9, ~10 and ~11.
 
  This example code is in the public domain.

 int led = 9;           // the PWM pin the LED is attached to
 int brightness = 0;    // how bright the LED is
 int fadeAmount = 5;    // how many points to fade the LED by
 
 // the setup routine runs once when you press reset:
 void setup() {
   // declare pin 9 to be an output:
   pinMode(led, OUTPUT);
 }
 
 // the loop routine runs over and over again forever:
 void loop() {
   // set the brightness of pin 9:
   analogWrite(led, brightness);
 
   // change the brightness for next time through the loop:
   brightness = brightness + fadeAmount;
 
   // reverse the direction of the fading at the ends of the fade:
   if (brightness == 0 || brightness == 255) {
     fadeAmount = -fadeAmount ;
   }
   // wait for 30 milliseconds to see the dimming effect
   delay(30);
