Can be used to light a LED at varying brightnesses or drive a motor at various speeds. Writes an analog value (PWM wave) to a pin. This is NOT in the basic reference, but should be. So -įrom somewhere in Arduino land (unknown) I copied the material below. An electrolytic cap can be used but leakage current may slightly affect accuracy. Using a 10 uF ceramic cap and a 10k resistor is probably OK. Larger RC is smoother but with secondary effects. A simple RC filter where R x C is usefully more than about 0.001S will start to work. AFAIK Arduino PWM frame rate is about 800 Hz - so components are usually higher than that. To convert the PWM to good-enough DC a low pass filter with a cutoff somewhat below the PWM frame rate is needed. Where 'value' comes from analogWrite(pin, value) "analogWrite(pin, value) produces as others have said - a PWM signal - rail to rail square waves with mark space ratio that varies so the mean DC value changes. This is typically digital pins 3 5 6 9 10 11. So trying to do analog out on an analog pin dooms your attempt to failure.Īrduino analogWrite(pin, value) only works on DIGITAL pins and then only on the subset of digital pins that have PWM capability. The R & C act as a low pass filter to convert the PWM to DC.Īrduino analog pins are ONLY for analog input, not for analog output. Place a capacitor from the analog input to ground, say 100 nF to 10 uF. Use analogRead(pin) on a valid analog input pin.Ĭonnect a series resistor between the two pins - say 10k. Use analogWrite(pin, value) on a valid digital pin (see below) Summary To carry out Arduino analog to analog transfer: This answer provides both Arduino specific knowledge and general electrical knowledge - both are necessary for a good solution (unfortunately).
