Hello there. I am trying to drive an LED out of the PWM pins of a microntroller. When the LED is not connected on the mc the signal is fine, i can see pulses on the osciloscope from 0~5V. However when i connect the LED these pulses drop to 0~1V. I assume the mc cannot provide enough current out of the pins. Is this correct?
Now that means i have to use transistor to drive the LED. And because I am not good at all with analog I wanted to ask you how to do that.
Would the following be ok?
Thanks and sorry if this is too silly.
