Below are a few examples of using the Adafruit_BBIO.PWM module. It's fairly simple to use as well!
Setup
To setup a pin to use PWM:import Adafruit_BBIO.PWM as PWM #PWM.start(channel, duty, freq=2000, polarity=0) PWM.start("P9_14", 50) #optionally, you can set the frequency as well as the polarity from their defaults: PWM.start("P9_14", 50, 1000, 1)
The valid values for duty are 0.0 to 100.0. The start method activate pwm on that channel. There is no need to setup the channels with Adafruit_BBIO.PWM.
Once you've started, you can then set the duty cycle, or the frequency:
Once you've started, you can then set the duty cycle, or the frequency:
PWM.set_duty_cycle("P9_14", 25.5) PWM.set_frequency("P9_14", 10)
You'll also want to either disable that specific channel, or cleanup all of them when you're done:
PWM.stop("P9_14") PWM.cleanup()
