Hi everyone, I'm controlling the speed of bldc motor using Simple Circuit 's instruction. But i can't control speed lower than duty cycle < 20%. i tried adding delay to interrupt but it also does not work.

I tried changing the frequency but it's probably inefficient. How should I fix it? I want the minimum speed possible to be 0.
