However, if you put any delays longer than 50 MS in the main loop, it will mess up the timing. It's not really going to make that much of a difference if the Arduino's sole purpose is to generate PWM signals.
Its simpler just to type instruction instead of having lots of "if" statements. 
It may not be as precise as using the hardwired circuits with the Arduino. Technically, you can, however, there are some problems: Why can't I just turn the light on and off really fast in my code?: The ledPin is the PWM pin that you want to start PWM and 128 should be replaced with a number between 0 and 255 0: 0% duty cycle (turns the pin completely off) and 255: 100% duty cycle. (If you are really electrical savvy, you could probably add a capacitor to make it also an analog output.)įirst, you need to define the pin as output. EX: 25% isn't always 1/4th the brightness.) (Note: as some people pointed out this isn't truly proportional but let's leave it this way for simplicity. If you used for a LED, it would appear about 1/4th as bright. When there is a 25% duty cycle, it is on one-forth of the time. This can dim a LED by giving the illusion it is at half the brightness as before, where it is really flashing very quickly. The "Pulse Width Modulation" (PWM) is how long the pin stays on or off for a single cycle of that frequency. The PWM pins are controlled by on-chip timers which toggle the pins automatically at a rate of about 490Hz. Generating a modulated signal, for example to drive an infrared LED for a remote control. Providing variable speed control for motors. However, low-pass filter (capacitor and resistor) to simulate analog voltages. The output is still digitally toggling from 0V to 5V. These pins are called PWM and are the same as the other pins, except they have an "added bonus."
