In a previous article, I discussed LEDs in general and their properties. In this write-up, I want to give some examples of driving LEDs and comparing a few of the most commonly used methods. There is ...

This is an easy tutorial showing how you can control the brightness of an LED or adjust the speed of a DC fan using Arduino Board, a small BC547 transistor and a potentiometer. In my example the whole ...

The human eye's highly nonlinear response to light levels poses problems for designers of adjustable lighting. Simple hardware or software linear-control methods compress most of the apparent ...

In the last video I demonstrated a Universal Active Filter that I could adjust with a dual-gang potentiometer, here I replace the potentiometer with a processor controlled solid-state potentiometer.

Dimming LEDs is an important feature in many of today’s solid state lighting applications. While many implementations for dimming LEDs in the market today rely on PWM modulation of the LED driving ...
