LEARN THE LINGO

Pulse width modulation

A signal technique that varies the portion of each cycle spent in one state.

The plain-English version

A signal technique that varies the portion of each cycle spent in one state.

Why it matters

It can control suitable hardware through a documented switching pattern.

An indicator's apparent brightness is varied using a supported PWM output.

Vibe Bro’s heads-up

PWM is not universally a smooth analog voltage; behavior depends on the pin, board, connected device, and any filtering circuitry.
