Fading LED with different frequencies

Question

I have a potentiometer attached to one analog port of arduino (assume A0)
I'm reading the value of that using input_voltage = analogRead (A0); which is a value between 0-1023.
So I want to map this value to frequency from 1Hz to 20Hz. Then I want to fade my LED using this frequency.
Tried to doing this map using int frequency = map (input_voltage, 0, 1023, 1, 20);
But how can i apply this frequency to LED?
I mean PWM has a constant frequency (about 500Hz). How should I apply frequencies from 1 to 20 to this LED in order to fade it?

Answer 1

There is a library in which you can change the frequency

Here is my example code I did long time ago I had the same problem

Get the library from here

https://github.com/atmelino/Arduino/tree/master/libraries/PWM

Go ahead and try example code there and try to understand too.

Include the library first to code

my code

void setup() {
  pinMode(13, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(8,LOW);
  Serial.begin(115200);
  InitTimersSafe();
}
void loop() {
  //mapping
  long x = map(analogRead(A0),0,1023,1,20);
  bool b = SetPinFrequencySafe(9,x);
  digitalWrite(13,b);
  pwmWrite(9,127);
  Serial.print(x);
  Serial.print(" Hz ");
  Serial.println(b);
  delay(100);
}

Built in led will turn on if the frequency is stetted.

By the way led will turn on in 50% on and 50% off in one cycle in pin 9.

Use only the PWM pins in Arduino 3,9,6 etc.

Now you can change the PWM frequency...

I just put a led in the female socket in for easiness + terminal in 9 and - terminal in 8 to go to ground that's why I did put pin 8 to low.
