 LEDC Software Fade on shared channel with multiple pins

 This example shows how to software fade LED
 using the ledcWriteChannel function on multiple pins.
 This example is useful if you need to control synchronously
 multiple LEDs on different pins.

 Code adapted from original Arduino Fade example:

  // reverse the direction of the fading at the ends of the fade:

    fadeAmount = -fadeAmount;
  }
  // wait for 30 milliseconds to see the dimming effect
  delay(30);
