  None

• Examples

  SPWM.toggle_debug()
  

is_chip_pro()

Function to report to the calling script if the SBC is a CHIP or a CHIP Pro

• Parameters

  None

• Returns

  int - 1 for CHIP Pro, 0 for CHIP

• Examples

  is_chip_pro = SPWM.is_chip_pro()
  

start(channel, duty_cycle=0.0, frequency=2000.0, polarity=0)

Start the Software PWM

• Parameters

  channel - pin for software PWM is configured duty_cycle - initial duty cycle of the PWM (optional) frequency - frequency of the PWM (optional) polarity - signal polarity of the PWM (optional)

• Returns

  None

• Examples

  SPWM.start("CSID0")
  SPWM.start("CSID0", 37.0)
  SPWM.start("CSID0", 10.0, 500.0)
  SPWM.start("CSID0", 50.0, 1000.0, 1)
  

stop(channel)

Stop the Software PWM

• Parameters

  channel - pin software PWM is configured

• Returns

  None

• Examples

  SPWM.stop("CSID0")
  

set_duty_cycle(channel, duty_cycle)

Set the duty cycle of the Software PWM

• Parameters

  channel - pin software PWM is configured duty_cycle - duty cycle of the PWM (0.0 to 100.0)

• Returns

  None

• Examples

  SPWM.set_duty_cycle("CSID0", 25.0)
  

set_frequency(channel, frequency)

Set the frequency of the Software PWM in Hertz
