LED is connected to the IO port called GPIO18. And LedPin is defined as 12 and set to output mode according
to the corresponding chart for pins. Then create a PWM instance and set the PWM frequency to 1000HZ, the
initial duty cycle to 0%.
LedPin = 12
def setup():
g lobal p
GPIO. setmode(GPIO.BOARD) # Numbers GPIOs by physical location
GPIO. setup(LedPin, GPIO. OUT) # Set LedPin's mode is output
GPIO. output(LedPin, GPIO. LOW) # Set LedPin to low
p = GPIO. PWM(LedPin, 1000) # Set Frequency to 1KHz
p. start(0) # Duty Cycle = 0
There are two “for” cycles used to realize breathing LED in the next endless “while” cycle. The first makes the
ledPin output PWM from 0% to 100% and the second makes the ledPin output PWM from 100% to 0%.
def loop():
w hile Tr ue:
for dc in range( 0, 101, 1): # Increase duty cycle: 0~100
p.ChangeDutyCycle(dc) # Change duty cycle
time.sleep(0.01)
time.sleep(1)
for dc in range( 100, - 1, -1): # Decrease duty cycle: 100~0
p.ChangeDutyCycle(dc)
time.sleep(0.01)
time.sleep(1)
The related functions of PWM are described as follows:
p = GPIO.PWM(channel, frequency)
To create a PWM instance:
p.start(dc)
To start PWM:where dc is the duty cycle (0.0 <= dc <= 100.0)
p.ChangeFrequency(freq)
To change the frequencywhere freq is the new frequency in Hz
p.ChangeDutyCycle(dc)
To change the duty cyclewhere 0.0 <= dc <= 100.0
p.stop()
To stop PWM.
