MOSFET Mayhem..

Other Hardware LEDs and Multiplexing

Thanks Rob!
My question now, though, is how to combine the two following sketches to instruct the circuit to work the way you and I are describing. The second sketch is an example from the bildr.org site and I am showing you because I have never used a MOSFET component before and this is the best way I can describe to you my intentions..

SKETCH1:

const int Xdata = A0;
const int greenPin1 = 2;
const int greenPin2 = 3;
const int greenPin3 = 4;
const int greenPin4 = 5;
const int greenPin5 = 6;
const int greenPin6 = 7;
const int greenPin7 = 8;
const int greenPin8 = 9;
const int greenPin9 = 10;

int sensorValue = 0;
int outputValue = 0;

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
 
 sensorValue = analogRead(Xdata);            
  outputValue = map(sensorValue, 0, 525, 0, 654);  

  analogWrite(greenPin1, outputValue);
  analogWrite(greenPin2, outputValue);
  analogWrite(greenPin3, outputValue);
  analogWrite(greenPin4, outputValue);
  analogWrite(greenPin5, outputValue);
  analogWrite(greenPin6, outputValue);
  analogWrite(greenPin7, outputValue);
  analogWrite(greenPin8, outputValue);
  analogWrite(greenPin9, outputValue);

  Serial.print("sensor = " );                      
  Serial.println(sensorValue);      
  Serial.print("\t output = ");      
  Serial.println(outputValue);  

  delay(50);                    
}

SKETCH2:

#define fadePin 3

void setup(){
  pinMode(fadePin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop(){

  for(int i = 0; i<360; i++){
    //convert 0-360 angle to radian (needed for sin function)
    float rad = DEG_TO_RAD * i;

    //calculate sin of angle as number between 0 and 255
    int sinOut = constrain((sin(rad) * 128) + 128, 0, 255); 

    analogWrite(fadePin, sinOut);

    delay(15);
  }

}

Thanks for your input!
