+/// This allows you to continuously update PWM duty cycles via DMA without blocking the CPU.
+/// The ring buffer enables smooth, uninterrupted waveform generation by automatically cycling

+/// dynamic waveform generation for applications like motor control, LED dimming, or audio output.

+/// channel.start(); // Start DMA transfer
+/// channel.write(&[100, 200, 300]).ok(); // Update duty cycles
