Sure, but there is not much about it: The PWM output is connected to an electronic circuit that converts the signal to a voltage. The higher the duty cycle is the higher the voltage gets. In fact this is a simple DAC converter. This voltage limits the electric current a battery recharger uses to charge a battery. We think controlling the PWM from userspace is a simple way for our application to control the voltage. If you have further questions feel free to ask.
