Update default PWM frequency to 25 kHz #161

Closed ghandye closed 1 year ago

ghandye commented 1 year ago

Section 2.1.4 of the 2005 Intel standard for 4-pin PWM fans specifies 25 kHz as the PWM frequency.

Many PWM fans will not operate at the previous default of 30 Hz, and the new hardware PWM implementation can easily support 25 kHz, so updating the PiFire default to match the published specifications for PC PWM fans seems prudent.
