Writing on analog components

BoneScript provides the function analogWrite() to generate a PWM wave on any GPIO pin from the previous diagram. After a call to analogWrite(), the pin will generate PWM waves of a specified duty cycle. Here is the prototype of the analogWrite() function.

The code is as follows:

analogWrite(pin, value, [freq],[callback])

Where

pin – BeagleBone pin identifier string

value – duty cycle ratio of the PWM as value between 0 and 1

freq – frequency of PWM in Hz

callback – name of function which will be called automatically when analogWrite() finishes.

Here, freq and callback parameters are optional. If freq is not specified, the default value 2 kHz is used. The duty cycle ratio value is not taken as a percentage but as a ratio between 0 to 1. It is a ratio of time it was ON to period. We can get that by dividing the percentage value by 100. So, a 50% duty cycle will be 0.5 value. Sometimes, you need to read the datasheet of the analog output device to find out the correct...
