Trigger control

By using triggerPWM() you have complete freedom to make anything happening in your firmware affect a PWM channel. Post this in 30_Switches.ino

triggerPWM()

Allows you to turn on/off PWM channels and add a blinking effect if a condition is met.

To get access to things happening in the firmware and use this as a condition, there are triggers you can use. These will return true under certain conditions.

void triggerPWM(PWMchannel, condition, blinkEnable, blinkOnTimer, blinkOffTimer)

Typed out and explained:

triggerPWM(
2, //----------------------Affecting PWM channel 2
analogTravel(1, 10), //-------Checking if analog channel 1 has reached 10% of its range
true, //--------Will blink
100, //---------Will turn on for 100 ms on blinking
900, //---------Will turn off for 900 ms on blinking

This is used to make a potentiometer (set up as a PWMPot() on analog channel 1) turn on the PWM channel as long as its travel is more or similar to 10% of its total travel. If not, PWM is turned of. The effect is that the LEDs we're controlling here will dim down until they abruptly turn off.
