PWM Freq

This document describes the setPwmFrequency function which divides the base PWM frequency of pins on an Arduino board by a given divisor to set a new PWM frequency. It provides details on the base frequencies for different pins, available divisors for each pin, and how frequencies are paired between pins. The function works by setting a mode register to select the divisor, which then divides the base frequency to set the new PWM frequency.

/**
* Divides a given PWM pin frequency by a divisor.
*
* The resulting frequency is equal to the base frequency divided by
* the given divisor:
* - Base frequencies:
* o The base frequency for pins 3, 9, 10, and 11 is 31250 Hz.
* o The base frequency for pins 5 and 6 is 62500 Hz.
* - Divisors:
* o The divisors available on pins 5, 6, 9 and 10 are: 1, 8, 64,
* 256, and 1024.
* o The divisors available on pins 3 and 11 are: 1, 8, 32, 64,
* 128, 256, and 1024.
*
* PWM frequencies are tied together in pairs of pins. If one in a
* pair is changed, the other is also changed to match:
* - Pins 5 and 6 are paired on timer0
* - Pins 9 and 10 are paired on timer1
* - Pins 3 and 11 are paired on timer2
*
* Note that this function will have side effects on anything else
* that uses timers:
* - Changes on pins 3, 5, 6, or 11 may cause the delay() and
* millis() functions to stop working. Other timing-related
* functions may also be affected.
* - Changes on pins 9 or 10 will cause the Servo library to function
* incorrectly.
*
* Thanks to macegr of the Arduino forums for his documentation of the
* PWM frequency divisors. His post can be viewed at:
* http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=16612#msg121031
