sparkfun/sparkfun_pwm_block_for_edison_cpp_library

C++ library and example for using SparkFun's PWM block for the Intel Edison.

SparkFun PWM Block for Edison C++ Library

The SparkFun PWM Block allows you to add 8 channels of I²C controlled PWM to your Edison stack. This library, and the example code included with it, will get you started working with the PCA9685 chip on the block. It provides functions for generic control as well as application specific code for driving LEDs and servo motors.

Repository Contents

• SparkFun_pca9685_Edison.h - Header file containing class, function, and constant definitions used by the pca9685 C++ library.
• SparkFun_pca9685_Edison.cpp - Class implementation for pca9685 class.
• SparkFun_PWM_Edison_Block_Example.cpp - example code which will show you how to access all of the functions in the library.

Audio generation using PWM Block PCA9865

Hello,

I want to generate audio using this PWM block. I need a PWM ouput at 2khz, 8khz frequency.Is it possible with this or should I use a PCA9835 (by desoldering the PCA9865 and soldering the 35 and making changes to the library appropriately.Please let me know.
