An LED Bar Graph is packaged array of LEDs commonly used to indicate level or progress and commonly include 8 or 10 leds.

The PwmLedBarGraph class allows you to control an led bar graph using PWM ports.

Use the SetLed method to turn on or off LEDs individually, or assign a value on the Percentage property to represent it visually on the graph bar, like a battery indicator, temperature, humidity, etc.

An LED Bar Graph is packaged array of LEDs commonly used to indicate level or progress and commonly include 8 or 10 leds.

The PwmLedBarGraph class allows you to control an led bar graph using PWM ports.

Use the SetLed method to turn on or off LEDs individually, or assign a value on the Percentage property to represent it visually on the graph bar, like a battery indicator, temperature, humidity, etc.

An LED Bar Graph is packaged array of LEDs commonly used to indicate level or progress and commonly include 8 or 10 leds.

The PwmLedBarGraph class allows you to control an led bar graph using PWM ports.

Use the SetLed method to turn on or off LEDs individually, or assign a value on the Percentage property to represent it visually on the graph bar, like a battery indicator, temperature, humidity, etc.

PwmLedBarGraph pwmLedBarGraph;

An LED Bar Graph is packaged array of LEDs commonly used to indicate level or progress and commonly include 8 or 10 leds.

The PwmLedBarGraph class allows you to control an led bar graph using PWM ports.

Use the SetLed method to turn on or off LEDs individually, or assign a value on the Percentage property to represent it visually on the graph bar, like a battery indicator, temperature, humidity, etc.

An LED Bar Graph is packaged array of LEDs commonly used to indicate level or progress and commonly include 8 or 10 leds.

The PwmLedBarGraph class allows you to control an led bar graph using PWM ports.

Use the SetLed method to turn on or off LEDs individually, or assign a value on the Percentage property to represent it visually on the graph bar, like a battery indicator, temperature, humidity, etc.

Code Example

PwmLedBarGraph pwmLedBarGraph;

public override Task Initialize()
