setPwmDutyCycle(pin, dutycycle)
Writes a PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) wave at the output of the selected pin.
Parameters
pin - The GPIO pin number.
dutycycle - PWM duty cycle. Available ranges between 0 and 255.
Returns
None
Example
#include <Arduino.h>
int GPIO_PIN = 12; // GPIO12
void setup() {
pinMode(GPIO_PIN, PWM_OUTPUT);
setPwmDutyCycle(GPIO_PIN, 128); // Set PWM to half duty cycle
}
void loop() {
}Notes
- The default PWM frequency is 490 Hz
- PWM_OUTPUT mode uses the internal PWM hardware of the BCM283x SoC.
The available PWM pins are the followings:
| GPIO PIN | Available in RPi (40-pins) connector | PWM channel |
|---|---|---|
| 12 | YES | 0 |
| 13 | YES | 1 |
| 18 | YES | 0 |
| 19 | YES | 1 |
| 40 | NO | 0 |
| 41 | NO | 1 |
| 45 | NO | 1 |
| 52 | NO | 0 |
| 53 | NO | 1 |
