- PWM stands for Pulse-width modulation, it sets the percentage of time that a pin is HIGH and LOW. For an LED, it sets the effective brightness.
- The Raspberry Pi 3 B+ has 2 PWM pins, but they operate on the same channel, effectively creating 1 PWM pin.
- We need the GPIO expander because the RGB LED needs 3 PWM pins to fully function, and the Pi only has 1 on board.
- 7 -- red, green, blue, white (red+green+blue), yellow (red+green), purple (red+blue), and cyan (green+blue).
- The GPIO expander communicates with the Raspberry Pi using the I2C protocol.
- The color module takes in strings representing color in various formats (#FFF, rgb(255,255,255), and translates them into a red, green, and blue channel that our Pi and LED understand.
- The REPL helps with debugging by letting you see and manipulate the state the bot is in. It is powerful because most robotics platforms...
