It describes Project 2, which creates a light dimmer using an Arduino board, breadboard, potentiometer, resistor, and LED. It explains how adjusting the potentiometer controls the brightness of the LED through pulse width modulation. Project 3 is then described, which uses multiple LEDs to create a bar graph that can be controlled with a potentiometer.

    PROJECT 2:
    LIGHT DIMMER
    LIGHT DIMMER
    In this project, you'll create a
    dimmer switch by adding a
    potentiometer to control the
    brightness of a LED.
    COMPONENTS
    ARDUINO BOARD

    BREADBOARD

    JUMPER WIRES

    50K-OHM POTENTIOMETER

    470-OHM RESISTOR

    RED LED
    ARDUINO BOARD
    An Arduino board is an open-source
    electronics platform that consists of a
    physical programmable circuit board
    and a piece of software used to write
    and upload computer code to the
    board. It is designed to be easy to use
    and allows users to read inputs from
    various sources, such as sensors or
    buttons, and turn them into outputs,
    such as activating a motor or turning
    on an LED.
    BREADBOARD

    A breadboard is a rectangular plastic


    board with a grid of holes that are
    connected by metal strips underneath
    the board. The holes are arranged in
    rows and columns, and each row and
    column is electrically connected. This
    allows electronic components to be
    inserted into the holes and connected
    together to form a circuit.
    JUMPER WIRES

    Jumper wires are simply wires that


    have connector pins at each end,
    allowing them to be used to connect
    two points to each other without
    soldering. Jumper wires are typically
    used with breadboards and other
    prototyping tools in order to make it
    easy to change a circuit as needed.
    50K-OHM POTENTIOMETER

    It is a variable resistor with a knob that


    alters the resistance of the
    potentiometer by adjusting or turning
    it. It is commonly used in electrical
    devices such as volume controls on
    audio equipment. This project uses a
    50k-ohm potentiometer to control the
    brightness of an LED.
    470-OHM RESISTOR

    A 470-ohm resistor is an electronic


    component that is used to resist the
    flow of electrical current in a circuit. It
    is a passive component, which means
    that it does not generate or consume
    electrical energy, but rather it converts
    some of the electrical energy that
    passes through it into heat.
    RED LED

    A light-emitting diode (LED) is a


    semiconductor device that emits light
    when an electric current flows through
    it. When current passes through an
    LED, the electrons recombine with
    holes emitting light in the process.
    LEDs allow the current to flow in the
    forward direction and blocks the
    current in the reverse direction.
    HOW IT WORKS?
    CIRCUIT
    DIAGRAM
    THE SKETCH
    int potPin = A0; // Analog input pin connected to the potentiometer
    int potValue = 0; // Value that will be read from the potentiometer
    int led = 9; // Pin 9 (connected to the LED) is capable of PWM

    // Runs once at beginning of the program


    void setup() {
    pinMode(led, OUTPUT); // Set pin 9 to output
    }
    // Loops continuously
    void loop() {
    potValue = analogRead(potPin); // Read potentiometer value
    // from A0 pin
    analogWrite(led, potValue/4); // Send potentiometer value to LED
    // to control brightness with PWM
    delay(10); // Wait for 10 ms
    }
    Program using Arduino Software
    PULSE WIDTH MODULATION (PWM)
    PWM is a very common method of
    dimming LED lights that works by very
    rapidly turning them on and off
    (pulsing) for periods that visually
    appear as a steady dimmed light. We
    adjust the brightness level by adjusting
    the percentage of the time the lights
    are on (100%) to the time they are off
    (0%).

    PROJECT 3: BAR GRAPH GROUP 1

    BAR GRAPH
    In this project, you’ll combine
    what you’ve learned in the
    previous LED projects to create
    an LED bar graph that you can
    control with a potentiometer.

    ARDUINO BOARD
    Arduino is an open-source platform
    used for building electronics projects.
    It consists of both a physical
    programmable circuit board (often
    referred to as a microcontroller) and a
    piece of software, or IDE (Integrated
    Development Environment) that runs
    on a computer. It is used to write and
    upload computer code to the physical
    board.

    50K-OHM POTENTIOMETER

    A potentiometer is a variable resistor.


    The resistance of the potentiometer
    can be adjusted by rotating the
    thumbwheel. 50K Potentiometer has
    adjustable resistance between 1Ω and
    50kΩ.
    220-OHM RESISTOR

    A 220-ohm resistor is a passive


    electrical component with two
    terminals that are used to limit or
    regulate the flow of electric current in
    electrical circuits. It is one of the most
    common resistors in electronics and is
    often used with LEDs to limit the
    current that the LED can use.
    LEDS

    A light-emitting diode (LED) is a


    semiconductor device that emits light
    when an electric current flows through
    it. Different color of LEDs are used in
    this project to identify the level of
    brightness.

    // Start a loop
