Lab Activity 6 PWM

This experiment aims to learn how to implement analog output from an Arduino board using pulse width modulation (PWM). PWM works by varying the duty cycle of a square wave from 0% to 100% to produce different average output voltages. The experiment connects an LED, resistor, and potentiometer to an Arduino board. A program will read the potentiometer input and use it to control the LED intensity by varying the PWM duty cycle, displaying the intensity as a percentage on the serial monitor. As a supplemental activity, the document asks students to design a program for an Arduino-based DC motor speed control using a potentiometer, including a program, flowchart, block diagram, and schematic diagram.

Experiment Number 6

Analog Output (PWM)


Objectives:
To learn how to implement analog output from the Arduino board in
the form of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM).
Theory:
For a square wave, the duty cycle is defined as:

.
A PWM signal is a variable duty cycle signal.
When the duty cycle is zero, then the average
output is 0 V. When the duty cycle is 100%,
then the average output is at its maximum
value (+5V in Arduino). As the duty cycle
increases from 0 to 100%, the average output
voltage increases, and vice versa.
Instructions:
(analog.Write). See the instruction reference book.
Equipment:
• Arduino UNO board
• LDE
• 220 resistor
• potentiometer
Procedure:
1. Connect the circuit of Fig.1.
2. Write a program to read the input analog signal
and use it to control the intensity of the LED.
3. Display the intensity as a percentage (%) on the
serial monitor GUI.
Discussion: Fig. 1
