I want to use an array to control output values. What can I do?

slipstick:
You set the value "brightness" outside the for loop...so it never changes. Either move it inside the loop or change your analogWrite to use pwmVals directly.

Ah, using pwmVals directly did it, thanks!

const int transistorPin13 = 13;

int timer = 4000; //

int pwmVals [] = {
