Twelve PWM outputs from an ATtiny85
https://www.electronics-lab.com/twelve-pwm-outputs-attiny85/
This project describes how to get 12 analogue PWM outputs from an ATtiny85, so you can drive 12 LEDs with individual control over each LED’s brightness. David Johnson-Davies writes: Each LED can be set to a brightness between 0 (off) and 63 (fully on). The demonstration program shows a rotating wave of light that moves […]
