Description

The unit has been running flawlessly for almost 2 years. Upgraded the kernel first to 2.0.5 then to 2.0.6. Since then the PWM and 0-10V outputs do not work. Have measured with an oscilloscope, the outputs are constantly at 0V.
Have tried
-To read back the status of the pins if they are still output, they are.
-To read back (ledcread) which reports the previous set value... Ie start value 0 I set 100 and I read back 0, I write new value 60 and I read back 100.
-To put several ledcwrite after each other. Does not make a difference on the pin, however, it can read back the data correctly. Not always but sometimes.
-Moving initiation of ledcsetup and ledcattatch from constructor to a begin function no difference.

• Replaced ledcwrite with digitaWrite. Now I can change the pin state.

Other Steps to Reproduce

case #5306 feels similar.

I have checked existing issues, online documentation and the Troubleshooting Guide

ledcAttachPin is going to set the pin mode (it is going to use the ledc peripheral, rather than digital out). Don't set pinMode after you attach it.

[Findus76]

Many thanks. That was the mistake. Now it works.
I was unsure when I created the code about 2 years ago, it became a bit of "double security" and has worked.

Undefined behavior sometimes works, but is subject to change when the APIs change. Following the examples in the repo should give you better results than random (old) internet code...
