Change sparkle/LED brightness?

[GHesse]

Hi

Probably a very simple question, but is it possible to change the brightness of a LED or sparkle using the crumble code?

I was looking at the challenges in this document
https://community.computingatschool.org.uk/files/7059/original.pdf

One was

Use an analogue dial crumb as a dimmer switch for a sparkle. You can use a variable to see the input from the dial crumb change when you turn the dial.

But what I have been unable to determine is how you can then use the analogue input from the slider to control the sparkle brightness.

Thanks

Hi GHesse,

It is possible to programmatically adjust the brightness of the Sparkles using a potentiometer.

I have included an image with two examples of code on. The top section of code will allow you to adjust the brightness of white, whereas the bottom section shows you how to adjust the brightness with a particular ‘shade’ of colour (e.g. purple). The wait statement helps to eliminate any flicker, but it may not be necessary in your case.

I hope this helps, and if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.

Dan
