Common Questions For Reporting Questions

I see the same thing happen here all the time where someone will write a post tjat "x doesn't work" or "y crashes"...

Is It Possible To Ramp Up And Down The Brightness Of Leds?

No lucking finding a post on this. I am working on a BB-8 driod with the EZ-Robot and am looking to get LEDs to quickly ramp to full brightness and fade out the same way (as opposed to just turn on or off.) Any ideas on the best way to achieve this? Thanks, Bob
