This is a getting started level tutorial that looks at how to Dim and Fade an LED, now we know how to blink one. To Dim or Fade an LED on the Raspberry PI Pico we use PWM, Pulse Width Modulation. In this video I will tell you how and some of the pitfalls to avoid.
Once we master PWM we cannot only control an LED to Dim or Fade but also control Motors, Servos and even stepper motors. PWM is a really powerful capability and the Raspberry PI Pico has 16 PWM Channels
