Let's do it step by step with the above code:

c == 0

>>> + if (c == 0)
>>> + c = 256;

c == 256

>>> + if (c > 255)
>>> + c = 255;

c == 255

>>> + duty_cycles = 256 - c;

c == 1

See?

Where does this modulo defined? In the Manual, there is sth. like this
defined for RELOADV (tables 606+607), but not for DUTY.

Maybe I missed sth. in the manual. Link or hint appreciated!

Thanks,
