PWM: RGB LED¶
Overview¶
This is a sample app which drives a RGB LED using PWM.
There are three single-color component LEDs in an RGB LED. Each component LED is driven by a PWM port where the pulse width is changed from zero to a fusion flicker threshold (the minimum flicker rate where the LED is perceived as being steady), causing each component LED to step from dark to max brightness. Three for loops (one for each component LED) generate a gradual range of color changes from the RGB LED, and the sample repeats forever.
Wiring¶
Hexiwear K64¶
No special board setup is necessary because there is an on-board RGB LED connected to the K64 PWM.
Building and Running¶
This samples does not output anything to the console. It can be built and flashed to a board as follows:
west build -b hexiwear_k64 samples/basic/rgb_led
west flash
