Hey guys, I needed to create an electronic flame effect using leds. I was wondering how I could do this with the microcontroller. Lets lets just say we were going to use 1 pin for 1 led which was going to represent a candle . Would we use pwm or just turn the pin high/ low at certain speeds. If it is pwm, I have never dealt with that before and can definetly use some example code.

P.S. This led flame is for a project for my neighbor. I am decorating his son's bike for burning man with leds and circuits to do fancy stuff, and I thought some sort of flame effect with leds would match the theme.

Thanks
