Baseline PWM frequency on Teensy 3?

[darkness]

Can someone tell me what is the baseline PWM frequency in Teensy 3 using analogRead? Thanks!

Also, has the beta code for analogReadFrequency been incorporated into the latest beta11 for the Teensyduino?

I believe it's about 490 Hz. It's supposed to be the exact same frequency you'd get from an Arduino Uno.

Also, has the beta code for analogReadFrequency been incorporated into the latest beta11 for the Teensyduino?

Yes. Actually, it's analogWriteFrequency(pin, frequency).

Frequency and Duty Cycle checks out nicely

Thanks Paul... Great Work!

I tested out various combinations of Bit resolution, Base Frequency and Duty Cycles, and the outputs are very accurate.
Obviously there are limitations, but the included code can be used to check.
I was able to get base frequencies from 10Hz to over 5MHz with out problem at 8bits... but The duty cycle resolution starts to suffer at the high end.
Also good results also between 6 and 16 bits resolution at various frequencies

Here's a snap of the readings from my Digital Signal Analyser:
