SparkFun Blocks for Intel® Edison - PWM
Introduction
SparkFun’s PWM Block for the Intel Edison allows you to add eight
channels of I²C controlled PWM output to your Edison stack. The headers
are spaced to allow you to directly connect servo motors to the block, and
an auxiliary isolated power input on the headers allows for input voltages
and currents above what the rest of the Edison can use or provide.

Suggested Reading
If you are unfamiliar with Blocks, take a look at the General Guide to
Sparkfun Blocks for Intel Edison.
Other tutorials that may help you on your Edison adventure include:
• Programming the Edison - This tutorial assumes you are not using
the Arduino IDE, so you’ll want to familiarize yourself with C++
development on the Edison.
• Powering Your Project
• Connector Basics
• PWM Basics
• LED Basics
Board Overview
The “top” side of the board is the most interesting, so we’ll look at that first.
