#87478 - I hope this helps
Responding to: ???'s previous message
Hello Piter.

Let me try to help, If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

PWM - Pulse Width Modulation.
To my understanding it the same as varying your Duty Cycle.
Duty Cycle - the percentage of the period that your output is High.

50% duty cycle means that in one period, the time that your output is high = the time that your output is low. ie half power

80% -> o/p high for 80% of total period
100% -> o/p high for the entire period ie, max power output
0% -> o/p high for 0% of the period -> ie, 0 power output.

I think you get the picture, basically you are varying the width of your output pulse.

I hope this helps.
