Fade LED
|
|
########
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
This application "fades" a LED using the :ref:`PWM API <pwm_api>`.
|
|
|
|
The LED starts off increases its brightness until it is fully or nearly fully
|
|
on. The brightness then decreases until the LED is off, completing on fade
|
|
cycle. Each cycle takes 2.5 seconds, and the cycles repeat forever. The PWM
|
|
period is taken from Devicetree. It should be fast enough to be above the
|
|
flicker fusion threshold.

|
Requirements and Wiring
|
|
***********************
|
|
|
|
This sample has the same requirements and wiring considerations as the
|
|
:ref:`pwm-blinky-sample`.
|
|
|
|
Building and Running
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
To build and flash this sample for the :ref:`nrf52840dk_nrf52840`:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/basic/fade_led
|
|
:board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840
|
|
:goals: build flash
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
Change ``nrf52840dk_nrf52840`` appropriately for other supported boards.
|
|
|
|
After flashing, the sample starts fading the LED as described above. It also
|
|
prints information to the board's console.
