Well... it worked. Now that the arduino is fading like it is suppose to I had a driver go out so now I...

    (Another) Arduino Light Controller DIY build.

    Hello ya"ll, I have built the same arduino as Caddni's controller and using his code. The problem I am having is the LEDs will flicker for about 30 sec then ramp up and flicker again at the end of the ramp. I am using the Uno and using pwm pins 3 and 11 for the LEDs. Anyone know of a fix?
