In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to use PWM with Raspberry PI, include an example with a “breathing” LED. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is an electronic technique of reducing the (average) power provided to a circuit by providing regular discrete pulses. As Raspberry PI hasn’t analogic PINs, this can provide an effective
