SparkFun Blocks for Intel® Edison - PWM

Contributors: SFUptownMaker, CaseyTheRobot, HelloTechie

Introduction

SparkFun's PWM Block for the Intel Edison allows you to add eight channels of I²C controlled PWM output to your Edison stack. The headers are spaced to allow you to directly connect servo motors to the block, and an auxiliary isolated power input on the headers allows for input voltages and currents above what the rest of the Edison can use or provide.
