Quick Steps

  • Install ezLED library. See How To
  • Connect Arduino to PC via USB cable
  • Open Arduino IDE, select the right board and port
  • On Arduino IDE, Go to File Examples ezLED LEDFadeInFadeOut example
/* Created by ArduinoGetStarted.com This example code is in the public domain Tutorial page: https://arduinogetstarted.com/library/led/example/arduino-led-fade-in-fade-out This example fade LED: + fade in LED in 3 seconds + fade out LED in 3 seconds + without using delay() function. This is a non-blocking example */ #include <ezLED.h> // ezLED library ezLED led(9); // create a LED object that attach to pin 9 bool isFadedIn = false; void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); } void loop() { led.loop(); // MUST call the led1.loop() function in loop() if (led.getState() == LED_IDLE) { if (isFadedIn == false) { Serial.println("FADING IN"); led.fade(0, 255, 3000); // fade in from 0 to 255 in 3000ms, fade immediately //led.fade(0, 255, 3000, 1000); // fade in from 0 to 255 in 3000ms, fade after 1 second isFadedIn = true; } else { Serial.println("FADING OUT"); led.fade(255, 0, 3000); // fade out from 255 to 0 in 3000ms, fade immediately //led.fade(255, 0, 3000, 1000); // fade out from 255 to 0 in 3000ms, fade after 1 second isFadedIn = false; } } // To stop fading immediately, call led.cancel() function }
