Hi, is there a possibility to get the ESP PWM function flickerfree ?
From PWM,5,3 until PWM,5,200 my LCD Display's flickers, over 200, no flicker...
Possibility to get PWM flickerfree ?

I don't think it's possible as ESP8266 PWM is software generated, if you need steady PWM signal you need to use an external hardware, like an arduino or an expader (PCA9685)

Re: Possibility to get PWM flickerfree ?
Before somebody gets mislead again:
PCF8574 is a pure GPIO expander and does not do PWM!
If you want to gnerate PWM with an external chip, use the PCA 9685.
As mentioned in github a while ago it is supported but needs some improvement.

sorry Shardan you are right... initially I remember both expanders were PWM compliant but looking better your statement is correct, sorry!
