Hi
I recently received my micropython and want to use it to control a small DC motor. I want to use Pololu DRV8835 Dual Motor Driver Carrier (http://www.pololu.com/product/2135) and in odrer to control the speed of motor I need to use PWM output. I searched in the Forum and in the docs but couldn't find any example/document to show how a pin can be configured and used as PWM. I appreciate it if anyone can help me with this.
Cheers,
Abtin

Re: PWM
PWM for DC motor control is completely different than PWM for servo control.
I have some motor control PWM code that works with a much older build (before we switched to stmhal) using the DRV8835. What you really need to do is set up a timer on the appropriate pin, and configure it properly.
If you need it, I can post my PWM code, which includes all the setup required.
