Project 4
Analog Input

Parts for this project:

• Solderless Breadboard
• 8 x Flexible Wire Jumpers
• 1 x RGB LED
• 3 x 220 Ohm Resistors
• 1 x Blue Potentiometer with white knob
• Arduino Duo board
• USB Cable

The Circuit

• Connect 5V and GND to the side strips
• Connect the short leads of the LED to pins 9,10,11 in series with a resistor.

• Connect the Potentiometer across 3 rows
• One side goes to ground.
• The other goes to +5V
• The Center Pin Connects to analog in 0 (Marked A0)

}
{ myservo.write(pos); delay(15);
// in steps of 1 degree
// tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
// waits 15ms for the servo to reach the position
}
