Channel Pulse > 99999 Causes Runtime Error about rpio

[metachris]

You could try to increase the pulse-width increment granularity to get
longer pulses.

When trying to create a channel pulse greater than 99999 in length a
runtime error is returned. The error message also seems to contain errors
(the channel number and the max_width). Below is an example that I
generated in the python prompt:

import RPIO.PWM as pwm
pwm.setup()
Using hardware: PWM
PW increments: 10us
pwm.init_channel(0, 1000000)
Initializing channel 0...
pwm.add_channel_pulse(0, 18, 0, 99999)
add_channel_pulse: channel=0, gpio=18, start=0, width=99999
init_gpio 18
pwm.add_channel_pulse(0, 18, 0, 100000)
add_channel_pulse: channel=0, gpio=18, start=0, width=100000

Thanks that works.
