Step 3Soft on / off
As there's intelligence in the solar garden light now, why just turn the lights on immediately when it gets dark? That's not very sophisticated is it? Slowly turning the light on and getting brighter until it's fully on, looks sooooo much better. :)
That's why I used pin 3 - a PWM pin. ;) You can see on the 'scope the pulses. It's showing about a 50:50 mark space ratio, so the light is at 50% brightness. It takes about two seconds to go from fully off to fully on. I think it looks cool.
