hello! i'm working on a interactive wall and i need to use a big number of leds an lightresensors. I started puttin g the leds in the 9 10 11 pin (PWM) and i controlled them with lightsensor on digital pins...
 here's my code...


int ledPinC = 11;
int inPinC = 8;
int valueC = 0;
int valC = 0;

int ledPinB = 10;
int inPinB = 7;
int valueB = 0;
int valB = 0;

int ledPinA = 9;
int inPinA = 6;
int valueA = 0;
int valA = 0;

void setup() {
  pinMode(ledPinC, OUTPUT);  // declare LED as output
  pinMode(inPinC, INPUT);    // declare pushbutton as input
  
  pinMode(ledPinB, OUTPUT);  // declare LED as output
  pinMode(inPinB, INPUT);    // declare pushbutton as input
  
  pinMode(ledPinA, OUTPUT);  // declare LED as output
  pinMode(inPinA, INPUT);    // declare pushbutton as input
}

void loop(){

valC = digitalRead(inPinC);  // read input value

  if (valC == LOW) {
 digitalWrite(ledPinC, LOW);  // turn LED OFF
 }

 if (valC == HIGH) {
    for(valueC = 0 ; valueC <= 255; valueC+=5) // fade in (from min to max)
  {
    analogWrite(ledPinC, valueC);           // sets the value (range from 0 to 255)
   delay(15);                      // waits for 30 milli seconds to see the dimming effect
  }
  for(valueC = 255; valueC >=0; valueC-=5)   // fade out (from max to min)
  {
    analogWrite(ledPinC, valueC);
    delay(15);      
  }
 }
 
 
 
 valB = digitalRead(inPinB);  // read input value

  if (valB == LOW) {
 digitalWrite(ledPinB, LOW);  // turn LED OFF
 }

 if (valB == HIGH) {
    for(valueB = 0 ; valueB <= 255; valueB+=5) // fade in (from min to max)
  {
    analogWrite(ledPinB, valueB);           // sets the value (range from 0 to 255)
   delay(15);                      // waits for 30 milli seconds to see the dimming effect
  }
  for(valueB = 255; valueB >=0; valueB-=5)   // fade out (from max to min)
  {
    analogWrite(ledPinB, valueB);
    delay(15);      
  }
 }
 
 
 
 valA = digitalRead(inPinA);  // read input value

  if (valA == LOW) {
 digitalWrite(ledPinA, LOW);  // turn LED OFF
 }

 if (valA == HIGH) {
    for(valueA = 0 ; valueA <= 255; valueA+=5) // fade in (from min to max)
  {
    analogWrite(ledPinA, valueA);           // sets the value (range from 0 to 255)
   delay(15);                      // waits for 30 milli seconds to see the dimming effect
  }
  for(valueA = 255; valueA >=0; valueA-=5)   // fade out (from max to min)
  {
    analogWrite(ledPinA, valueA);
    delay(15);      
  }
 }
 
 
}


NOW: MY QUESTION IS: HOW CAN I MAKE THE LEDS FADE ALL TOGHETER (IF THE 3 LIGHTSENSORS ARE LOW, FOR EXAMPLE)? WITH MY SCRIPT THE LEDS FADE IN AND OUT ONCE AT TIME... BUT NOTHING APPENS DURING A LOOP FADE IN-OUT...

sorry for my bad english... i'm a poor stupid student.... and i'm italian.... so....

[Reply #1 on:]

Why don't you put it all in 1 loop? You can control all 3 leds with 1 variable.

i've done... in another way... but i've done... this is the right code.. it works perfectly!!! :D:D


int ledPinC = 11;
int inPinC = 4;
int valueC = 0;
int valC = 0;
int incrementoC = 0;

int ledPinB = 10;
int inPinB = 3;
int valueB = 0;
int valB = 0;
int incrementoB = 0;

int ledPinA = 9;
int inPinA = 2;
int valueA = 0;
int valA = 0;
int incrementoA = 0;

void setup() {
      pinMode(ledPinC, OUTPUT);  
      pinMode(inPinC, INPUT);    
  
      pinMode(ledPinB, OUTPUT);  
      pinMode(inPinB, INPUT);    
  
      pinMode(ledPinA, OUTPUT);  
      pinMode(inPinA, INPUT);    
            
}

void loop(){
             gestioneSensoriLuminosi();
            delay( 15 );
}

void gestioneSensoriLuminosi()
{
      valC = digitalRead(inPinC);  
      valB = digitalRead(inPinB);  
      valA = digitalRead(inPinA);  
      
      if ( ( valC == LOW ) && ( valueC == 0 ) )
      {      
             digitalWrite(ledPinC, LOW);  
      }else
      {      valueC = valueC + incrementoC;
            
            analogWrite( ledPinC, valueC );
            
            if (  valueC == 255  )
            {      incrementoC = -5;
            }
      
            if ( valueC == 0 )
            {      incrementoC = +5;
            }
      }
            
      if ( ( valB == LOW ) && ( valueB == 0 ) )
      {      
             digitalWrite( ledPinB, LOW );  
      }else
      {      valueB = valueB + incrementoB;
            
            analogWrite( ledPinB, valueB );
            
            if (  valueB == 255  )
            {      incrementoB = -5;
            }
      
            if ( valueB == 0 )
            {      incrementoB = +5;
            }
      }
            
      if ( ( valA == LOW ) && ( valueA == 0  ) )
      {      
             digitalWrite( ledPinA, LOW );  
      }else
