Release PHP PWM Module Wrapper

[Chris McCaslin]

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!

It is used for the Servo (PWM) Expansion !

I had to google what PWM means

[Chris McCaslin]

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