[Feature]: Control PWM Module #35

@OlliMartin

Description

@OlliMartin

Make sure you have updated to the latest version of the module

  • I have checked this on the latest version of the module *
  • I've read the code

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched for similar existing issues

Describe the feature

I would like to use the PWM module of the Raspi to control the speed of connected fans, potentially reading the reported RPM (not sure if the latter is possible timing/latency wise)

Usecases

Being able to generate a PWM Signal allows controlling the fan speed via Companion in one closed system

Additional

I would be happy to raise a PR for this feature if you are fine with it:
TBD would be which NPM pkg to use (I'm assuming OnOff won't be capable of it, but I did not look into that so far) and presumably how to figure out which PWM GPIOs are available (automatically?) might be a headache.

I've written a PWM/Fan control in C# and the PWM module doesn't always play nice on the PI - at least in my experience.
