Writing PWM Outputs | Raspberry Pi Pico Workshop: Chapter 2.7

🔗 The full course : https://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.
