PWMAllPins


/******************************************************************************************************
*   Title: PWMallPins.pde
*   Author: Paul Badger 2007
*   Formating: Seth Wolf 2015
*  
*   Action:
*   This program fades LED's on Arduino digital pins 2 through 13 in a sine-wave pattern.
*   A program to illustrate one way to implement a manual PWM loop.
*
*   It could be modified to also modulate pins 0 & 1 and the analog pins.
*   I didn't modulate pins 0 & 1 just because of the hassle of disconnecting
*   the LEDs on the RX and TX pins (0 & 1).
*  
*   The PWM loop, as written, operates at about 175 HZ and is flicker-free.
*   The trick to this is to reduce the computation process time in between the PWM loop cycles.
*   Long delays between the loops are going to show up as flicker. This is true especially of
*   "Serial.print" debug statements which seem to hog the processor during
*   transmission. Shorter (time-wise) statements will just dim the maximum brightness of
*   the LED's. There are a couple of lines of code (commented out) that implement a
*   potentiometer as a speed control for the dimming.
*  
*   How it works:
*   The PWM loop turns on all LED's whose values are greater than 0 at the start of the PWM loop.
*   value. It then turns off the LED's as the loop variable is equal to the channel's PWM modulation
*   Because the values are limited to 255 (just by the table), all LED's are turned
*   off at the end of the PWM loop. This has the side effect of making any extra math,
*   sensor reading and will increase the "off" period of the LED's duty cycle. Consequently
*   the brightest LED value (255), which is supposed to represent a "100%" duty cycle
*   (on all the time), doesn't really do that. More math and sensor reading will increase  
*   the "off time", dimming the LED's max brightness. You can make up for  
*   this dimming with smaller series resistors, since LED's can be overrated if they aren't
*   on all of the time.The up side of this arrangement is that the LED's stay flicker free.

*  
*   Note:
*   This program could easily be used to modulate motor speeds with the addition of driver transistors or MOSFET's.
*
