A beginner-friendly introduction to Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) covering how it works through duty cycle and frequency adjustments to control average voltage. Explains real-world applications including LED brightness control, motor speed control, servo direction, buzzer loudness, and audio signal generation. Also covers the basic components needed (microcontroller, load device, power supply) and tips for getting started, including using an oscilloscope to fine-tune signals.
