Set Pin PWM

This block sets the voltage level on the selected pin varying values. Values between 0 and 255 will cause the Single Color LED to turn on at different levels.

  • When set to 255, the Single Color LED is at maximum on.
  • When set to 0, the Single COlor LED is off.
  • When set to 127, the Single Color LED is half-way on.
  • Other values between 0 and 255 will turn on the LED at appropriate brightness levels.

*Note: Only pins which support "Analog Write" will work correctly with this block.
