For example, if you see pwm_config() and pwm_{enable,disable}() calls in the same function, this probably means you should switch to pwm_apply_state(). -The PWM user API also allows one to query the PWM state with pwm_get_state(). +The PWM user API also allows one to query the PWM state that was passed to the +last invocation of pwm_apply_state() using pwm_get_state().

In addition to the PWM state, the PWM API also exposes PWM arguments, which are the reference PWM config one should use on this PWM. |
