Writing PWM Outputs | Raspberry Pi Pico Workshop: Chapter 2.7

🔗 The full course : core-electronics.com.au/cours...
Most microcontrollers aren't able to natively output an analog signal, instead, they use a little trick called PWM. In this video we will be taking a look at how to use PWM in MicroPython on the Raspberry Pi PIco, and what it can be used for.

Thank you for this really informative and helpful video!!

This is one of the best informative videos! Thank you so much!
I've got a small question: Is it posible to create a PWM output using digital outputs in Arduino? (without using the PWM pins)

[@Core-Electronics]

You can generate a PWM signal on the other pins if you use the softPWM library

Nice!
