Name  

pulseOut()

   
Examples   
 
void setup() { 
  pulseOut(3, 10); // generates an infinite pulse of 10Hz on PWM output pin 3 
} 
 
void loop() { 
 
}

Description   The pulseOut() generate a pulse of a determined frequency in hertz on a specific pin. Since the pulseOut command uses timer1 to generate the pulses accurately the pins available for pulse generation are PWM output pins 3, 4 and 5.
   
Syntax   
pulseOut(pin, frequency)
pulseOut(pin, frequency, nPulses)
   
Parameters  
pin   int the PWM output pin number in which the pulse will be generated. It can only be on 3, 4 or 5 PWM output pins

frequency   int: the frequency for the pulse in Hertz

nPulses   int: the number of pulses to generate

   
Returns   None
