Arduino UNO: Potentiometer used as a 10-way LED switch

-

Using similar principles as before, I have used a potentiometer (variable resistor) as an Analog input. I have mapped the value received from the potentiometer (0 to 1023) and converted the value to a number between 4 and 13, which represent the OUTPUT pins that light up the LEDs.

If you would like to see the sketch/code, let me know in the comments.

Have you ever wondered if there was a way to store and retrieve data from a USB stick with an Arduino UNO? Most people choose SD cards to store their project data, but you may be surprised there IS a way! IC Station have a nice little module which allows you store and retrieve your Arduino (or other MCU) project data to a USB stick.   I am not too sure why USB storage is not widely used in Arduino projects? These modules are not expensive, they have been around for quite a while, and are relatively simple to use. You do not need any libraries to get them to work, however, I must say that documentation for this module is not that easy to find. This site and this document proved to be very useful in my endevour to get this module working, and I hope my tutorial below will help you get started and bridge some of the information gaps.   The...

Add sound or music to your project using the "Grove Serial MP3 Player". An Arduino UNO will be used to control the Grove Serial MP3 player by sending it specific serial commands. The Grove Base Shield allows for the easy connection of Grove sensor modules to an Arduino UNO without the need for a breadboard. A sliding potentiometer, switch and button will be connected to the Base shield along with the Serial MP3 player. A specific function will be assigned to each of the connected sensor modules to provide a useful interface: Sliding Potentiometer – Volume control Button – Next Song Switch – On/Off (toggle) Once the MP3 module is working the way we want, we can then build a simple enclosure for it. Grab a shoe-box, print out your favourite design, and ...

    Guest Post Disclaimer This is a guest post by the EasyEDA team. I would like to thank EasyEDA for providing this tutorial for everyone to enjoy. All information within this post was provided by EasyEDA.     Description None of us could deny the fact that we would love with to play with LED’s and lighting stuff. I love to play with LED’s and create attractive lighting effects. This project was a result of such an attempt where I created a stunning RGB light effect using the popular development platform Arduino Nano. Let’s see the circuit, code and instruction on building this project:     Parts Required: An EasyEDA account (free) Arduino Nano (or compatible board) LED strip Dupont wire connectors Custom control board Image source: EasyEDA     Ardui...
