If you do not already have one, this is the most suitable gear I could find:amzn.to/3pBMfKmThe Raspberry Pi's are sort of pricy right now, so you can look on ebay or elsewhere to see if there are any deals. You will need a SD card. If you do not already have one, this is a good one:amzn.to/3KcXTn2I like using a wireless keyboard and mouse to have fewer wires. You can certainly use your USB keyboard and mouse, but if you want a nice wireless one, this one works on the pi. We demonstrate this by using a button switch to control a LED.amzn.to/36Rv9SkYou guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will help me keep my gear updated, and help me keep this quality content coming:patreon.com/PaulMcWhorter#pantilt#opencv #raspberrypi
Raspberry Pi Pico W LESSON 11: Controlling a Dimmable LED with a Potentiometer Paul McWhorter 2023-04-04 | You guys can help me out over at Patreon, and that will help me keep my gear updated, and help me keep this quality content coming:patreon.com/PaulMcWhorterIn this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.amzn.to/3ubMRs1In this introductory video, I will show you how to create a dimmable LED controlled by a potentiometer in micropython. I will explain that the pico W simulates analog output voltages using PWM, or Pulse Width Modulation. I will show how to get the values you need, and will show the actual waveforms coming from the pico w on an oscilloscope. We connect the PWM signal to a LED, and show we can control brightness. I also how you can get smoother dimmable action by using exponential changes rather than linear changes.This class is for absolute beginners, and I do not assume you already understand the material I am presenting. My goal is not to 'Show Off', but to genuinely teach you how you can do this type of work and projects on your own. I will show all work step-by-step, with clear instructions Enjoy!#raspberrypipico #pwm #micropython
