/* Button Turns on and off a light emitting diode(LED) connected to digital pin 13, when pressing a pushbutton attached to pin 2. The circuit: - LED attached from pin 13 to ground - pushbutton attached to pin 2 from +5V - 10K resistor attached to pin 2 from ground - Note: on most Arduinos there is already an LED on the board attached to pin 13. created 2005 by DojoDave modified 30 Aug 2011 by Tom Igoe This example code is in the public domain. http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Button */ // constants won't change. They're used here to set pin numbers: const int buttonPin = 5; // the number of the pushbutton pin const int ledPin = 8; // the number of the LED pin int brightness = 0; // how bright the LED is int fadeAmount = 5; // how many points to fade the LED by // variables will change: int buttonState = 0; // variable for reading the pushbutton status void setup() { // initialize the LED pin as an output: pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // initialize the pushbutton pin as an input: pinMode(buttonPin, INPUT); } void loop() { // read the state of the pushbutton value: buttonState = digitalRead(buttonPin); // check if the pushbutton is pressed. If it is, the buttonState is HIGH: if (buttonState == HIGH) { // turn LED on: fade(); } else { // turn LED off: digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); } } void fade(){ // set the brightness of pin 9: analogWrite(ledPin, brightness); // change the brightness for next time through the loop: brightness = brightness + fadeAmount; // reverse the direction of the fading at the ends of the fade: if (brightness <= 0 || brightness >= 255) { fadeAmount = -fadeAmount; } // wait for 30 milliseconds to see the dimming effect delay(30); }
