Update internal oscillator notes in examples #72

Closed photodude closed 4 years ago

This PR expands the notes on the PWM frequency and gives rough instructions on checking the PWM frequency for tuning the int.osc. value.

Test were conducted with an Arduino Uno or an Arduino Mega, 4 different Adafruit PCA9685 16-Channel Servo Drivers; either as a single chip or chained as two drivers, and later implemented as four chained drivers. as 4 chained drivers and the tuned int.osc. values for each specific chip the 50 hz PWM signals were able to correctly drive 25 ESC's adding a second layer of verification that the tuned int.osc values were correct. Video of the 25 fan array utilizing the four Adafruit PCA9685 16-Channel Servo Drivers after tuning the int.osc. frequency. Prior to tuning the int.osc. value some of the ESCs would not respond. https://youtu.be/eqOsOWWBtR0
