Type in the following code and program it into the Amicus18 board by clicking on the toolbar
and Program
Include
WriteAnalog2(512)
The LED will now be glowing, but not at full brightness. What’s happening is that channel 2 of the PWM
has been instructed to set the duty cycle to 50%, which is half the full range of 1023, which is 512. Try
different values within the braces of the WriteAnalog2 command and see what it does to the LED’s
brightness.
A more sophisticated program is shown below that will cycle the LED to full brightness then back to off
repeatedly:
