Changing the wiper potentiometer position change duty-cycle. This can be used to control DC engines, lighting and many more... from a min to max values of power. Put a driver on output to highests currents.
ADC + DISPLAY show us the level power from 1 to 15 (F).
555 CIRCUIT:
With this circuit you can get a constant frequently changing duty cycle as you want.
Very stable.
