About
-----
The LED control (LEDC) peripheral is primarily designed to control the intensity of LEDs,
although it can also be used to generate PWM signals for other purposes.
ESP32 SoCs has from 6 to 16 channels (variates on socs, see table below) which can generate independent waveforms, that can be used for example to drive RGB LED devices.
========= =======================
ESP32 SoC Number of LEDC channels

ledcSetCLockSource
******************
This function is used to set the LEDC peripheral clock source. Must be called before any LEDC channel is used.
The default clock source is XTAL clock (``LEDC_USE_XTAL_CLK``) if supported by the SoC, otherwise it is AUTO clock (``LEDC_AUTO_CLK``).
