  Chances are, if you understand your embedded system well enough to ‘call the function every 1ms or so’ consistently and reliably the additional challenge of fading the led will be minimal. The hard part about fading leds on an embedded system is usually the timing rather than the math.

    >> The hard part about fading leds on an embedded system is usually the timing rather than the math. I do a lot of power electronics work where we have an interrupt every PWM cycle (in the kHz range). In that case the PWMs are already used for critical things and the timing is already solid, so this really is a drop-in blinker/fader. Of course lots of applications have a spare PWM they can utilize for changing brightness of an LED, but the setup is still probably more than the code here ;-)
