![LED Dimming: PWM vs Current
In this video, I demonstrate two different ways to dim an LED, along with electrical analysis of the circuits using a multimeter and an oscilloscope.
Skip to 9:39 for the bit about Arduino PWM.

![Greenworks 80v Chainsaw vs Stihl Farm Boss 290
Greenworks 80v Chainsaw vs Stihl Farm Boss 290
UPDATE: The chain on the Stihl saw is a semi safety chain after all. I think its an RM3 semi chisel.
UPDATE 2: I think the bar on the Stihl was hot due to the anemic oiler on the MS290. Ive adjusted the oiler screw to wide open. Hopefully that will help in the future.
