His are genuinely far easier than other guys', go on unnecessary things, and are not even able to speak correct English. THANK YOU FOR THIS CONTENT KEEP IT UP!.

thanks so much for this video, I was following another tutorial that used pin 9 without saying why and so not thinking the pin mattered had used pin 4 and couldn't work out why my LED was off half the time and on half the time. Really appreciate you actually explaining what you're doing so people like me can learn not just follow rote.

Thank you for your tutorials, brilliantly explained. I noticed you add a space between certain values, is it a rule to follow or is it to keep things neat? Thanks

Spaces don't affect the code, it's just to keep things neat visually (and a matter of personal preference to some extent).

May I have your advice. Accoding to the LED fading code /* Fade This example shows how to fade an LED on pin 9 using the analogWrite() function. This example code is in the public domain. */ int led = 9; // the pin that the LED is attached to int brightness = 0; // how bright the LED is int fadeAmount = 5; // how many points to fade the LED by // the setup routine runs once when you press reset: void setup() { // declare pin 9 to be an output: pinMode(led, OUTPUT); } // the loop routine runs over and over again forever: void loop() { // set the brightness of pin 9: analogWrite(led, brightness); // change the brightness for next time through the loop: brightness = brightness + fadeAmount; // reverse the direction of the fading at the ends of the fade: if (brightness == 0 || brightness == 255) { fadeAmount = -fadeAmount ; } // wait for 30 milliseconds to see the dimming effect delay(30); } From the code, the LED will fade up - down in 30 msec again and again. If I would like to have the loop like this >> fade up-down,30 msec---turn off 5 sec----fade up-down,30 msec again. How to modify the program? Thank you

Hi - we're unable to provide advice on individual programming projects. Our tutorials are very hardware-focused, but if you search on KZfaq you should be able to find other more programming-focused Arduino tutorials on things like delays and loops that will help you accomplish what you want.

Hi how would I write this for a Alternatively flash ? I'm trying to create a night time traffic light

If you just want the lights to flash and not fade, you just need the digitalWrite command, not analogWrite. Check out the other videos in our playlist and they should explain it.

Thankyou!! But does this work with 6 led?

Yes, the Arduino UNO has 14 digital I/O pins, so you can add more LEDs.

How do i integrate this with a photoresistor so when light is face on the photoresistor it will fade?

We have an entire tutorial series linked in the video description, including a photoresistor tutorial here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jt16hK2fvpzNhac.htmlsi=5_8XT00xAJMNMMfd

is this C or javascript, which should i learn and are there any books you suggest i should learn c ? im aware of freecode camp and w3schools but i really want to learn c

Arduino is programmed in C/C++, not Javascript. We have our own tutorials (this is just one video in a playlist) but we can't really recommend one specific book or website over another.

I couldnt help but notice this video didnt have a tinkercad version. I went on to try it on tinkercad but it didnt work, any reason for that?

We just tried the Arduino "fade" example (File/Examples/Basics/Fade) in Tinkercad and it worked, but the fade can be a little hard to see in the animation. This video is almost two years old, but we probably skipped Tinkercad for this one because the fade is easier to see in real life.
