In this page is described how to create a realistic flickering fire effect with LEDs and an Arduino board. In this case I used a Digispark due to its small size.
Component Schematics
Building
Code
int p1 = 0; // Set the 3 pins with PWM
int p2 = 1;
int p3 = 4;
void setup() {
pinMode(p1, OUTPUT); // Set the pins as output
pinMode(p2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(p3, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
int v1, v2, v3;
v1 = random(155) + 100; // Calculate the new light
v2 = random(155) + 100; // intensity values for each LED
v3 = random(155) + 100;
analogWrite(p1, 255 - v1); // Apply the light intensity
analogWrite(p2, 255 - v2); // to each LED
analogWrite(p3, 255 - v3);
delay(20 + random(80)); // Wait some random time for next udpate
}
Demonstration:
