PWM polarity is sometimes inverted. #37

I have this error when initializing an object method that calls analogWrite. It causes my logic to be inverted so that 1 means off, and 0 means on. It only happens sometimes, so I can't simply change the logic.

self.Dim = function(amount){
bone.analogWrite(self.pin, (amount));
self.state = amount;
}
self.Dim(0.0);

Sunset_dim = new GrowSwitch("P8_13",1,true);
error: Error enabling PWM controls: Error: ENOENT, no such file or directory '/sys/devices/ocp.3/bs_pwm_test_P8_13.21/polarity'

    Can you try performing a b.pinMode('P8_13', b.ANALOG_OUTPUT); ahead of making any b.analogWrite() attempts? Also, any chance you can try a 4.4.x kernel and 0.5.0-betaX BoneScript?

    setting pinMode did not work consistently. Is it a synchronous function? At this time I cannot try newer versions because it's taken some time to make everything else compatible. I don't want to break other things.
