How to use hardware PWM/CLK to get exact timings on a Raspberry Pi

Introduction

This might not be a common issue, that hobbyists run into when creating their projects, because usually the software PWM, offered by the raspberry pi’s RPi.GPIO-Module, is exact enough for dimming some lights or controlling dc-motors. But for real-time and time-critical applications, this is actually an issue: Continue reading How to use hardware PWM/CLK to get exact timings on a Raspberry Pi
