+# Getting the PWM working
+
+The Raspberry Pi zero (1 and 2) have 2 PWM peripherals, allowing you to pulse pins without the CPU doing any additional work.  This is particuarly useful for controlling motor speeds when connected to a motor driver/H-bridge chip.

+# Discussion
+
+My raspberry pi zero W 2 wasn't working reliably with the PWM.
+
+The `gpio` command has been depricated and is now replaced by the `pinctrl` commend.  Running it did not list any PWM0 on any of the pins, which was concerning.
+
+[This forum post](https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=388352) indicated the need for a `pwm-2chan` device tree overlay to get it to show up.  After adding `dtoverlay=pwm-2chan` to the `config.txt`:
+
+```
+$ pinctrl
+ 0: ip    -- | hi // ID_SDA/GPIO0 = input
+ 1: ip    -- | hi // ID_SCL/GPIO1 = input
+ 2: a0    -- | hi // GPIO2 = SDA1
+ 3: a0    -- | hi // GPIO3 = SCL1
+ 4: op -- -- | hi // GPIO4 = output
+ 5: ip    -- | hi // GPIO5 = input
+ 6: ip    -- | hi // GPIO6 = input
+ 7: op -- -- | hi // GPIO7 = output
+ 8: op -- -- | hi // GPIO8 = output
+ 9: a0    -- | lo // GPIO9 = SPI0_MISO
+10: a0    -- | lo // GPIO10 = SPI0_MOSI
+11: a0    -- | lo // GPIO11 = SPI0_SCLK
+12: ip    -- | lo // GPIO12 = input
+13: ip    -- | lo // GPIO13 = input
+14: ip    -- | lo // GPIO14 = input
+15: ip    -- | hi // GPIO15 = input
+16: ip    -- | lo // GPIO16 = input
+17: ip    -- | lo // GPIO17 = input
+18: a5    -- | lo // GPIO18 = PWM0
+19: a5    -- | lo // GPIO19 = PWM1
+```
+
+Which looks much better.
+There is a pwm chip `in /sys/class/pwm`
+
+After running the `lgpio/pwm-test.py`
+the pin is back to being listed as an input, so I'm confused.
+The PWM pin (under load) did the right values.  Without a load on the Analog Discovery 2, I just saw noise.
+
+I commented out `dtoverlay=pwm-2chan` and `lgpio/pwm-test.py` worked.
+The pwm chip is missing from `/sys/class/pwm` so I'm guess that's not needed.
