I have a circuit containing 4 LEDs that goes from left to right.
It occurred to me to make them fade out slowly.
They could instantly turn on, I have no issue with that, I just wish they would "fade" out.
I go into PWM in PICBASIC, no problem. the PWM command is very easy to use.
But Multiple PWM using the PWM command [controlling multiple channel simultaneously] ? Forget it.
I then search around looking at the codes and complicated ways people go about achieving this.
Then it occur to me, an idea that is sooooo STUPID and SIMPLE, it might just work.
But I don't own an electronic store and I have to preorder things from the net and wait for weeks just to see if something works so I will put my "theory" here.
You know, all those talks about fading out multiple PWMs....what if....what if we just use a capacitor ?
When the idea first struck me, I was like no f**king way.
So I shall ask here....6 volts...PIC Chip...470 ohm resistors and LEDs.
How do you guy suggest a simple capacity could work, how would the wiring be made ? [Parallel connection ?]
Or this is just a dumb idea![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
