What is PWM?
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) is a technique used to simulate analog voltage levels using digital signals. It works by rapidly switching a
digital pin between HIGH (on) and LOW (off) states at a fixed frequency. The duty cycle—the percentage of time the signal is HIGH in one
cycle—determines the effective voltage delivered to a device.
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 required for defining rotation speed and direction of the DC motors on each side.
In particular, **GPIO6** and **GPIO5** provide PWM to the left- and right- side DC motors to rotate in a **clockwise** direction. 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. Similarly, **GPIO4** and **GPIO7** provide PWM to the left- and right- side DC motors to rotate in a **counter-clockwise** direction.
