Did this 40 years ago. Simple square wave inverter, 2 transistors driving the secondary of a very small 240V to 12-0-12V transformer.
The capacitor value isn't critical. It still worked at 78 RPM.

The new Pico PWM -Duty option would be ideal for producing the inverted and un-inverted waves for the push-pull drive , if only I could get it to work. There doesn't appear to be any inversion.

"Duty cycles are specified as a percentage and you can use a negative value to invert the output (-100.0 <= duty <=100.0)."

I expected this to do it.

Setpin 1, PWM
Setpin 2, PWM
PWM 0, 67, 50, -50
