.. admonition:: What is PWM?
|
||||
|
||||
**PWM** (Pulse Width Modulation) is a technique used to simulate analog voltage levels using ddiscrete igital signals. It works by rapidly switching a
|
||||
digital pin between HIGH (on) and LOW (off) states at a fixed frequency (often, at base frequency of 5 kHz). The duty cycle—the percentage of time the signal is HIGH in one
|
||||
cycle determines the effective voltage delivered to a device.

rapidly switching a digital GPIO pin between HIGH (on) and LOW (off) states at a fixed frequency (often, at base frequency of 5 kHz).

The duty cycle—the percentage of time the signal is HIGH in one cycle determines the effective voltage delivered to a device.
|
||||
|
||||
A higher duty cycle increases the motor speed, and a lower duty cycle decreases the motor speed. This allows for fine-grained speed control

without needing analog voltage regulators.

A pair of PWM channels are required for defining rotation speed and direction of the DC motors on each side.

A pair of PWM channels are used per DC motor for defining their rotation speed and direction on each side.
|
||||
In particular, **GPIO6** and **GPIO5** provide PWM to the left- and right- side DC motors to rotate in a **clockwise** direction.
|
||||
Similarly, **GPIO4** and **GPIO7** provide PWM to the left- and right- side DC motors to rotate in a **counter-clockwise** direction.
|
||||
Changing PWM on each channel determines the speed and direction of the RC car.
