Hi everyone, been a while since my last post, but I have been a busy new daddy. I wanted to demonstrate what PWM output was and how to use it nicely in a sketch. I’m really big on ramping lights on and off (my entire house is set up that way) and would like to share how do accomplish that. I also wanted to use a video to show PWM outputs on a scope to help me explain the process.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7:30pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat and our Discord!

I had the same question about the scope. Seems like it would be nice for experimentation. Also, that was interesting to know about the PWM. I am a beginner and never realized how it worked exactly.
Hi guys, thanks for the kind words! I have received a lot of questions about that scope. It is a DSO Nano v2 from seeedstudio, and I’ll be putting up a video on how it works in the next day or so at http://thecustomgeek.com.
Thanks!
Thsnks for the pwm tutorial. Nicely done. One question though: where did you get the nice small scope?

I believe that is a Seeed DSO Nano:

That looks right, thanks.
