For this a LED is connected to digital PWM pin 10 via a current limiting resistor of 220Ohm. analogWrite sets the pin to have an oscillating value which has a pulse length based of the duty cycle specified as the second parameter.

In the first example application of PWM we will show how to to slowly increase and decrease brightness of a LED. digitalWrite sets the pin to an high or low value that remains at exactly that value until digitalWrite is called for that pin again.

value: the duty cycle: between 0 (always off) and 255 (always on). Syntax analogWrite(pin, value) Parameter Values pin: the Arduino pin to write to. Any number between 0 and 255 corresponds to voltage between 0V and 5V. The analogWrite function has nothing to do with the analog pins or the analogRead function. For 5V supply, value of 0 means 0V and 255 means 5V. The value parameter ranges from 0 to 255 corresponding to 0% and 100% duty cycle. The pins 3, 9, 10 and 11 generates PWM frequency of 490Hz and pins 5 and 6 generates PWM frequency of 980Hz. For Arduino Nano or Arduino UNO the PWM pins are 3,5,6,9,10 and 11.

The pin parameter is the pin number which must be capable of generating PWM signal. With Arduino we can generate PWM signal using the analogWrite() function.

The PWM signal has amplitude of 5V(HIGH) and 0V(LOW), frequency of 10Hz and time period of 0.1 second.įor generating PWM signal with Arduino using matlab code see PWM - Programming Arduino using Matlabwhere analogPWMWrite() function is used.įunction for generating PWM signal with Arduino Below picture shows PWM signal with duty cycle of 0%, 25%, 50%, 75% and 100%. The frequency of the PWM signal is in this case 10Hz(1/0.1). For example, a PWM signal with 25% duty cycle and 0.1 second time period, the signal stays high for 0.025 seconds and stays low for 0.075 seconds. Duty Cycle(%) specifies how long the pulse stays HIGH and LOW for given time period. PWM signal are often specified in terms of Duty Cycle. The PWM signal generated from Arduino Nano/Uno are 490Hz or 970Hz depending upon the pin used. Humans can see or detect flickering of signals upto around 400Hz. PWM signal is often referred as analog signal but in reality it is not real continuous analog signal rather they are square waves which are repeatedly turned on and off with varying pulse width at such a high rate which gives perception to human that they are continuous signal. The longer the pulse width the longer the output voltage. The pulse widths are time duration over which voltage stays HIGH and LOW for a given duty cycle. PWM stands for Pulse Width Modulation which is a signalling technique where pulses of different widths are generated.

Afterwards we show different application example of PWM which includes controlling brightness of a LED with software alone and using Potentiometer, control of motor and sound generation. First we explain briefly about PWM, then explain how to generate PWM signal with Arduino Nano. In this tutorial we will show different application examples of PWM(Pulse Width Modulation) using Arduino Nano.
