In this class we will be using the Sunfounder Raspberry Pi Pico W Keppler Kit. It will make things a lot easier if we are working on identical hardware. the link below is to amazon, and is for the identical hardware I will be using in this entire class.

In this introductory video, I will show you how to create a dimmable LED controlled by a potentiometer in micropython. I will explain that the pico W simulates analog output voltages using PWM, or Pulse Width Modulation. I will show how to get the values you need, and will show the actual waveforms coming from the pico w on an oscilloscope. We connect the PWM signal to a LED, and show we can control brightness. I also how you can get smoother dimmable action by using exponential changes rather than linear changes.This class is  for absolute beginners, and I do not assume you already understand the material I am presenting. My goal is not to 'Show Off', but to genuinely teach you how you can do this type of work and projects on your own. I will show all work step-by-step, with clear instructions Enjoy!
