Arduino (ATMega328p) boards can be used to control multiple LEDs. To simplify the management of the pulse width modulation and use only a couple of arduino's pins for many LEDs I used PCA9685 controller. PCA9685 is connected to Arduino using I2C interface that requires only two data pins. .. image:: /media/2019-12-blinking-multiple-leds-with-arduino-atmega328p-and-pca9685/sketch_bb.png :width: 600px :alt: breadboard Blinking multiple LEDs with Arduino (ATMega328p) and PCA9685 .. image:: /media/2019-12-blinking-multiple-leds-with-arduino-atmega328p-and-pca9685/sketch_schem.png :width: 600px :alt: schema Blinking multiple LEDs with Arduino (ATMega328p) and PCA9685 ....

Parsing PWM signals ======================= For my `robocar project `_ I needed to understand the mechanism of pulse width modulation of the remote control. My intention was to use Arduino as a proxy between RC-receiver and servos/ESC to be able to record the used input for imitation learning. Human driver (me) sends steering commands via the remote control (transmitter). RC receiver converts radio signal into PWM signal. Arduino captures and maybe filters the signal, saves it somehow and sends it to the servos/ESC....
