CHAPTER 7
Pulse Width Modulation
The Raspberry Pi has two Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) peripherals available for the end user. The PWM peripheral is surprisingly complex, but the complexity is largely due to its flexibility.
To experiment with the PWM peripherals, the pipwm command has been provided as part of this book’s included software. This saves us from having to write programs and provides a tool for your general use.
The pipwm Command
If you installed the book’s provided software, the pipwm command should be immediately available as follows:
$ pipwm -hUsage: pipwm [-options]where: -A { a | p } Use PWM algorithm or MS (MS is default) ...
