Hi everyone,
I am trying to create a realistic oven for my son's toy kitchen using lights and dials.
User story:
The oven will have two (matching) dials on the front
The first dial will turn on a white light (2 position rotary switch?)
The second will turn on a red LED strip, the strip will start dim and get brighter as the dial (PWM?) is turned.
You can only turn on the red LED strip when the white light is on.
I think I need a two position rotary switch for this and a PWM. What kind of light would I need for the white light? I was hoping for something like a cupboard light rather than another strip? Can I get any light provided I put the wires in the right way?
How do I go about dimming an LED? I've seen stuff about PWMs but I wasn't sure how I would incorporate that into my setting. Not sure if there's an easier way? All advice is appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your help.
