[TriEmbed] Raspi, Python and PWM

[Ted Pudlik]

I have controlled the hardware PWM from Python using wiringpi2.  Here
<https://github.com/tpudlik/Birdfeeder/blob/master/iron_curtain.py> is an
example.  I found this discussion
<http://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/4906/control-hardware-pwm-frequency>
useful in figuring out how to control the frequency.

Best,
Ted
