Increase PWM frequency

ToyKeeper said:

SammysHP: The PWM is fast on purpose. Slow PWM is really annoying to people who can see it. Like 2.5 kHz looks like a bad strobe light. I generally try to get it close to 20 kHz. High enough that people won't see or hear it, but no faster than necessary.

Currently this firmware uses ~2.5 kHz for better 7135 efficiency. Maybe this is too slow.

When increasing the frequency it is important that the on-time is above 8 µs so that the regulator can fully turn on. Maybe it helps to change the frequency together with the duty cycle.

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
