|  | Fade LED | 
|  | ######## | 
|  |  | 
|  | Overview | 
|  | ******** | 
|  |  | 
|  | This application "fades" a LED using the :ref:`PWM API <pwm_api>`. | 
|  |  | 
|  | The LED starts off increases its brightness until it is fully or nearly fully | 
|  | on. The brightness then decreases until the LED is off, completing on fade | 
|  | cycle. Each cycle takes 2.5 seconds, and the cycles repeat forever. |

|  | Requirements and Wiring | 
|  | *********************** | 
|  |  | 
|  | This sample has the same requirements and wiring considerations as the | 
|  | :ref:`pwm-blinky-sample`. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Building and Running | 
|  | ******************** | 
|  |  | 
|  | To build and flash this sample for the :ref:`nrf52840dk_nrf52840`: | 
|  |  | 
|  | .. zephyr-app-commands:: | 
|  | :zephyr-app: samples/basic/fade_led | 
|  | :board: nrf52840dk_nrf52840 | 
|  | :goals: build flash | 
|  | :compact: | 
|  |  | 
|  | Change ``nrf52840dk_nrf52840`` appropriately for other supported boards. | 
|  |  | 
|  | After flashing, the sample starts fading the LED as described above. It also | 
|  | prints information to the board's console. |
