This is initialization, only needs to be done once
this turns on the led0 and sets the PWM 0/4095 (0 On/4095 Off, this is reverse of what is expected, but works)
so to turn it off you would send
and to turn on say led13
Each led takes two values On time and Off time, these can have values from 0..4095
If you have ever looked at how computers store numbers you know that a 8 bit number can only be 0..255, so to store 0..4096 you need two bytes, one is called L for low byte and the other H for high byte.
Calculating L and H values
Say you want to set 75% on,25%off (always has to add up to 100 %)
4095 * 0.75 = 3071, off value (remember its reversed, must be a whole number)
4095 - 3071 = 1024, on value
Easiest way to split into L and H is to convert it to Hexadecimal
3071 = BFF hex, you split this into two B and FF. B is the High value and FF is the Low value, then just convert it back to decimal, B = 11 and FF is 255
So you end up with H11 and L255
1024 = 400 hex so you end up with H4 and L0
full on is 4095 = FFFhex, F is high, FF is low, F = 15 and FF = 255, so you end up with Low = 255, High = 15
