Hey there guys,

I'm currently trying to solve the problem of having two buttons control a PWM signal. One button shall increase and the other decrease the PWM signal in Mobiflight.
This signal then is meant to drive the gate of a IRFZ44N mosfet.
The idea with this setup is I want the mosfet to dim a whole set of LEDs within one circuit. (not with a potentiometer)

What I figured (hopefully correctly) is that I need 3 pins in total on an Arduino: two for both buttons and one PWM pin for the gate of the mosfet.
How do I control this PWM signal via mobiflight now with the two buttons to in turn control LED dimming?

Thanks a lot for any help!

Short answer: You don't. Use a Nano instead and avoid a lot of headaches.
