[beagleboard] Re: PWM on more than 4 pins?

2014-03-03 Thread Andrew Dai
Which pins are you using?
P9_14
P9_22
P8_12
and P8_14 work just fine for me

 RuntimeError: You must start() the PWM channel first

 Any reason why? What's the max number of same-frequency PWM channels I can 
 have ongoing at any one time?

Woops sorry, my mistake.
I have PWM on P9_14 and P9_22

Re: [beagleboard] Re: PWM on more than 4 pins?

2014-03-03 Thread ghostman414004
Firstly, the working pins tend to change randomly... Cos P8_13 works for 
me. Secondly yeah, I do get a set of 4 working PWMs but I need more than 
that, I need 5 pwm. I am trying to work with the Adafruit library but that 
gives me this error when I try it on some of them. Even the pyBBIO library 
doesn't support pwm outputs with the 3.8 kernel.

At this point I think that a stable version of the 3.2 Angstrom 
distribution will fit my needs as it is much easier to set the pin muxes. 
Does anyone know where to get them?
