+Pulse Width Modulation
+======================
+
+Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a way to get an artificial analog output on a
+digital pin.  It achieves this by rapidly toggling the pin from low to high.
+There are two parameters associated with this: the frequency of the toggling,
+and the duty cycle.  The duty cycle is defined to be how long the pin is high
+compared with the length of a single period (low plus high time).  Maximum
+duty cycle is when the pin is high all of the time, and minimum is when it is
+low all of the time.
+
+More comprehensive example with all 16 PWM channels and 8 timers::
+
+    from machine import Pin, PWM
+    try:
+        f = 100  # Hz
+        d = 1024 // 16  # 6.25%
+        pins = (15, 2, 4, 16, 18, 19, 22, 23, 25, 26, 27, 14 , 12, 13, 32, 33)
+        pwms = []
+        for i, pin in enumerate(pins):
+            pwms.append(PWM(Pin(pin), freq=f * (i // 2 + 1), duty= 1023 if i==15 else d * (i + 1)))
+            print(pwms[i])
+    finally:
+        for pwm in pwms:
+            try:
+                pwm.deinit()
+            except:
+                pass
+
+Output is::
+
+    PWM(pin=15, freq=100, duty=64, resolution=10, mode=0, channel=0, timer=0)
+    PWM(pin=2, freq=100, duty=128, resolution=10, mode=0, channel=1, timer=0)
+    PWM(pin=4, freq=200, duty=192, resolution=10, mode=0, channel=2, timer=1)
+    PWM(pin=16, freq=200, duty=256, resolution=10, mode=0, channel=3, timer=1)
+    PWM(pin=18, freq=300, duty=320, resolution=10, mode=0, channel=4, timer=2)
+    PWM(pin=19, freq=300, duty=384, resolution=10, mode=0, channel=5, timer=2)
+    PWM(pin=22, freq=400, duty=448, resolution=10, mode=0, channel=6, timer=3)
+    PWM(pin=23, freq=400, duty=512, resolution=10, mode=0, channel=7, timer=3)
+    PWM(pin=25, freq=500, duty=576, resolution=10, mode=1, channel=0, timer=0)
+    PWM(pin=26, freq=500, duty=640, resolution=10, mode=1, channel=1, timer=0)
+    PWM(pin=27, freq=600, duty=704, resolution=10, mode=1, channel=2, timer=1)
+    PWM(pin=14, freq=600, duty=768, resolution=10, mode=1, channel=3, timer=1)
+    PWM(pin=12, freq=700, duty=832, resolution=10, mode=1, channel=4, timer=2)
+    PWM(pin=13, freq=700, duty=896, resolution=10, mode=1, channel=5, timer=2)
+    PWM(pin=32, freq=800, duty=960, resolution=10, mode=1, channel=6, timer=3)
