This is a great little program if you want to have two red LEDs fade in and out slowly randomly of each other. Based on the Arduino Fade sample.
I used it to light up a Halloween thing. For example, you can use it for a pumpkin’s eyes./* Two Fade - Fades two LEDs independently at different rates Arduino Uno Halloween 2013 */ // NOTE: other end of LEDs are tied through 330 ohm resistor to + int led1 = 9; // the pin that the LED is attached to int brightness1 = 180; // how bright the LED is int fadeAmount1 = 2; // how many points to fade the LED by int led2 = 10; // the pin that the LED is attached to int brightness2 = 60; // how bright the LED is int fadeAmount2 = 2; // how many points to fade the LED by // the setup routine runs once when you press reset: void setup() { pinMode(led1, OUTPUT); pinMode(led2, OUTPUT); } // the loop routine runs over and over again forever: void loop() { analogWrite(led1, brightness1); analogWrite(led2, brightness2); fade(brightness1, fadeAmount1); fade(brightness2, fadeAmount2); } void fade(int& brightness, int& fadeAmount) { // reverse the direction of the fading at the ends of the fade: if (brightness <= (random(20,40) * 2) || brightness >= (random(110,120) * 2)) { fadeAmount = -fadeAmount ; } // change the brightness for next time through the loop: brightness = brightness + fadeAmount; // change rate of brightness change depending on how bright // which allows smoother fades across all brightnesses if (brightness >= 200 && brightness <= 255) { delay(20); } else { delay(5); } }
