analogWrite() Brightness to one of Buzz's Eyes

Code

The code in the editor below is ready to run! Plug Buzz in to your computer's USB port with the cable and hit 'Upload Your Code!' to see what it does. Change something in the code, like a delay or pin number. Try to add something new to the program - it's yours to tinker with! You can always press the 'Restore' button to return the code to the working example.


/* Change the brightness of Buzz's eye to three different levels Buzz's pins 3,5,6, and 9 can use the analogWrite() function used here. */ void setup(){ pinMode(6,OUTPUT);//Set pin 6 to receive power. } void loop(){ analogWrite(6,80); //Set brightness to 80. Brightness can range from 0-255 delay(1000); //Wait 1000 milliseconds (1 second) at brightness 80 analogWrite(6,160); //Set brightness to 160, double the last function delay(1000); //Wait 1000 milliseconds analogWrite(6,240); //Set brightness almost to maximum delay(1000); //Wait 1000 milliseconds before restarting the loop } // (c) 2023 Let's Start Coding.
