analogWrite not working? [SOLVED]

Firmware

Folks,

I am sure this has been discussed before, not sure if a solution has been posted, but I am not having any luck with the analogWrite, I tried some analog pins, I get nothing :frowning:

Any idea? Thanks.

It would help if you show us what you tried, and what results that code gives. Please be specific.

No doing anything fancy, just testing some analog code. The way this code is, the LED stay ON it does not fade at all, if I change to, let’s say, to A0, I dont get anything.

int ledPin = D0;  
int fadeValue;
void setup() {
  
}

void loop() {
  
  for (fadeValue = 0 ; fadeValue <= 255; fadeValue += 5) {
    analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue); // <== This is not working 
    delay(100);
  }
for (fadeValue = 255 ; fadeValue >= 0; fadeValue -= 5) {
    analogWrite(ledPin, fadeValue); //<==  THis is not working 
    delay(100);
  }
}

If you look at the documents for analogWrite, you should see this note:

NOTE: pinMode(pin, OUTPUT); is required before calling analogWrite(pin, value); or else the pin will not be initialized as a PWM output and set to the desired duty cycle.

That’s all what it was, If the pin is not declare as an OUTPUT I will never see anything. All good now. thanks a lot for your help.
