# sigma delta Module
This module provides access to the sigma-delta component. It's a hardware signal generator that can be routed to any of the GPIOs except pin 0.
The signal generation is controlled by the [`setprescale()`](#sigma_deltasetprescale) and [`settarget()`](#sigma_deltasettarget) functions.

signal stopped at low
Fixed frequency PWM at ~312.5&nbsp;kHz is availble with the [`setpwmduty()`](#sigma_deltasetpwmduty) function.
## sigma_delta.close()
Stops signal generation and reenables GPIO functionality at the specified pin.
#### Syntax
`sigma_delta.close(pin)`
#### Parameters
`pin` 1~12, IO index
#### Returns
`nil`
## sigma_delta.setprescale()
Sets the prescale value.
#### Syntax
`sigma_delta.setprescale(value)
#### Parameters
`value` prescale 1 to 255
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`sigma_delta.settarget()`](#sigma_deltasettarget)
## sigma_delta.setpwmduty()
Operate the sigma-delta module in PWM-like mode with fixed base frequency.
#### Syntax
`sigma_delta.setpwmduty(ratio)`
#### Parameters
`ratio` 0...255 for duty cycle 0...100%, 0 stops the signal at low
#### Returns
`nil`
#### Example
```lua
-- attach generator to pin 2
sigma_delta.setup(2)
-- set 50% duty cycle ratio (and implicitly start signal)
sigma_delta.setpwmduty(128)
-- stop
sigma_delta.setpwmduty(0)
-- resume with ~99.6% ratio
sigma_delta.setpwmduty(255)
-- stop and detach generator from pin 2
sigma_delta.close(2)
```
## sigma_delta.settarget()
Sets the target value.
#### Syntax
`sigma_delta.settarget(value)
#### Parameters
`value` target 0 to 255
#### Returns
`nil`
#### See also
[`sigma_delta.setprescale()`](#sigma_deltasetprescale)
## sigma_delta.setup()
Stops the signal generator and routes it to the specified pin.
#### Syntax
`sigma_delta.setup(pin)`
#### Parameters
`pin` 1~12, IO index
#### Returns
`nil`
