LEDs as PWM outputs

In this connection, we can get the outputs as PWM digital signals. The LEDs fade and shine upon the strength of the input frequencies' power.

Pumps as digital outputs

In this connection, we can get the output as digital signals. The pumps runs and the LEDs flash upon the strength of the input frequencies' power.
