PIC16F628A - RGB LED Fade in and out

29.12.24

Embedded

This program utilize the functions from RBG leds. It starts with the red color. The red color of the RGB is faded in and out 3 times. Then it moves on to the green color. Same here. Fades in and out 3 times. Lastly the blue part of the RGB is faded in and out three times.

The code is fairly good commented, so it should be quite easy to understand whats going on.

Here's the circuit.
