that could work wit the fader and wiring up the buttons some how so when u press it that one lights up but idk if u could just wire to the button itself or need to add somethingand it wouldn't fade the way u want it i think it would fade depending on how long u hold it but i think u want it to fade even if u let it go like push fade starts let go fade keeps going till it completely finishes
A PIC would be best.
yeah, that's exactly what i'm talking about. idk, maybe pushing the button would build up a charge in a capacitor, and then the capacitor would redistribute it to led and slowly fade out depending on how long you pushed it for, i think this would also make it fade in which i'm more than fine with. just an idea (let me remind you all that im total noob). i attempted to draw a (very) basic idea of the concept in paint.eh?
Sorry that wouldn't work, you could wire the led's ground to the button though.
Wait, so the button points are the button's ground? Meaning if I were to wire up an led to any positive point, and used the button point as ground, it would light up whenever I press the button? I still don't understand buttons
Yup just like that, ignore js2ghetto he is wrong - the buttons are active low!!( ).See this image I made several months ago:
For goodness sake!!!Why over complicate it?Just wire the ground of your leds to the buttons, and the positive to the pulse board.But it is very good that you know what a capacitor is, that majority of people on here don't Anyway, BUTTONS!!!!The individual button signal pin is an input to a microcontroller. This signal is brought high by the use of a pull up resistor.When the button is pressed it connects the microcontroller's input pin straight to ground, bypassing the 10k pull up resistor ( we all know electrons take the path of least resistance).So if you were to read the voltage of one of the psp button signals (pins), when it was open (not pressed) the voltage would be around 2.5-5V (rough figure) and when pressed it would become low (ground voltage level - 0v - 0.8v approx.).So if you solder the negative of an led straight to the button signal, and the positive to a positive point, when the button is pressed it will supply the ground.This is all basic MCU logic.
I herd you like stealing quotes ey?
try droping it againmy retared friend fixed by droping it 1Sniper- not to be an but, its special friend
WOW a lot of tech talk well I understand all of thisand it is pretty awsome that you/they have figured it out in 3 little parts 1 resistor1 capacitor and1 led good job!
