Release PHP PWM Module Wrapper



  • Using php PWM wrapper for use with Servo PWM Module


    Q: How to use the wrapper?

    Answer:

    <?php
     require 'PWM.php';
     $pwm = new PWM();
     $pwm->SetChan('all'); //set the channels
     /* The CHANNEL can be: 0 - 15 to control an individual channel
        The CHANNEL can be: all to control all channels at once
        
       Optional parameters: frequency If not specified, default of 50 Hz is used
       Frequency range is 24 Hz to 1526 Hz
       Adds a delay in the PWM signal, can be an integer or floating point number between 0 and 100, 0% delay by default
     */
     $data = $pwm->SetDuty(1.25); // sets duty_cycle 1.25 on all channel's
     echo explode(':',$data[1])[1]; // Parse just the responce
     
     ?>
    
    

    Q: Where do I get it?

    Answer: Right here!

    the pull Request



  • It is used for the Servo (PWM) Expansion !

    I had to google what PWM means šŸ˜Š



  • PWM is very interesting to me because how it reminds me of AC.
