Analog Input

  • File->Sketchbook->Analog->AnalogInput

 val = analogRead(potPin);    // read the value from the sensor

  • Potentiometer

  • Question1: What will the voltage at A_IN be? What are the upper and lower values?
  • Question 2: Looking at the help for the analogRead() function, what will the value val be for those highest and lowest voltages?
  • photo-resistor
  • strain gauge

Analog Output

LED Dimming

  • File->Sketchbook->Examples->Analog->Fading

   analogWrite(ledpin, value);           // sets the value (range from 0 to 255)
