"""
This plugin interacts with an `Adafruit PCA9685 <https://learn.adafruit.com/16-channel-pwm-servo-driver?view=all>`_
circuit, a 16-channel PWM servo driver. You can leverage this plugin to control servos and motors through Platypush.
Note that the driver for PCA9685 has been written for CircuitPython, and in order to use it on a Raspberry Pi or
similar devices you need to
`follow these steps <https://learn.adafruit.com/16-channel-pwm-servo-driver?view=all#python-circuitpython>`_::
# pip3 install --upgrade adafruit-python-shell
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/adafruit/Raspberry-Pi-Installer-Scripts/master/raspi-blinka.py
# python3 raspi-blinka.py
Then reboot and check that the following virtual devices are available::
- /dev/i2c-1
- /dev/spidev0.0
- /dev/spidev0.1
Finally, install the PCA9685 drivers::
# pip3 install --upgrade adafruit-circuitpython-pca9685
This plugin works with a PCA9685 circuit connected to the Platypush host over I2C interface.

devices that require smooth transitions, arming sequences or ramping signals.

ramping logic.
