Abstract

This chapter explores pulse-width modulation (PWM) using the Raspberry Pi. PWM is applied in motor control, light dimming, and servo controls, to name a few examples. To keep the hardware simple and the software small enough to read, we’re going to apply PWM to driving an analog meter in this chapter.
