#96601 - Capacitor?
Responding to: ???'s previous message
What about inserting some high-capacity capacitor in paralell? This way you'd smooth out (antialias) the PWM output, peak current goes into capacitor, LED voltage¤t remaining on safe level, then during PWM "low", the capacitor sources power keeping the LEDs lit - with one big enough, constant load and some current limiting resistor, you can practically turn PWM into a slow and nonlinear but very smooth and hi-res DAC.
