HI Ian, Sorry to say it did not work for me either. I think Adafruit are aware of it -- I posted a bug notice a couple of weeks ago and they deleted it because there was one already. PWM on the BBB does not seem to be working real well at the moment. I got it to work fine on the RPI with the equivalent library. It was OK for me in the end --Im using a stepper, and I've just been switching the GPIO on and off in python -- which seems as fast as I need.
Better than trying to use PWM in my case, anyway. Kind regards Matt On Wednesday, December 11, 2013 3:46:47 PM UTC+10, [email protected] wrote: > > Hi, > I'm a newbie to the Beaglebone Black.
