Project Three – Analog Input v1.0b

Introduction

The purpose of this sketch is to demonstrate a form of analog input using the potentiometer Grove. We will use this to set the delay for our blinking LEDs from project one.
Connect the LED module to the D1/D2 Digital I/O jack, like it was in Projects 1 and 2. Arduino Pin D1 powers the LED Grove’s SIG connector, and Arduino Pin D2 connect to the LED Grove’s NC connector.
Connect the Potentiometer module to the Analog A0/A1 input jack.
The Potentiometer module produces an analog voltage on its SIG output, which is connected to Arduino A0 analog input on the A0/A1 input jack.
Now upload the following Arduino sketch:
// Project Three - Analog Input // void setup() { pinMode(1, OUTPUT); } void loop() { digitalWrite(1, HIGH); delay(analogRead(0)); digitalWrite(1, LOW); delay(analogRead(0)); }
The maximum delay value is 1023, as this is the upper limit of the value returned by the analogRead() function. You could use mathematical functions to increase or scale down the range of the delay.

Help us make it better

Thank you for choosing Seeed. A couple of months ago we initiated a project to improve our documentation system. What you are looking at now is the first edition of the new documentation system. Comparing to the old one, here is the progresses that we made:
  • Replaced the old documentation system with a new one that was developed from Mkdocs, a more widely used and cooler tool to develop documentation system.
  • Integrated the documentation system with our official website, now you can go to Bazaar and other section like Forum and Community more conveniently.
  • Reviewed and rewrote documents for hundreds of products for the system’s first edition, and will continue migrate documents from old wiki to the new one.
An easy-to-use instruction is as important as the product itself. We are expecting this new system will improve your experience when using Seeed’s products. However since this is the first edition, there are still many things need to improve, if you have any suggestions or findings, you are most welcome to submit the amended version as our contributor or give us suggestions in the survey below, Please don’t forget to leave your email address so that we can reply.
Happy hacking
