4. Lastly, we also read on CD as well as some FIRST forums that a low pass filter could be used to convert it to an analog signal read from the analog breakout. When we did that we found out pretty quickly (and luckily before damaging anything) that it was making the transistor on the breakout module heat up enough to burn your finger within a couple of seconds.

The "diamond shaped error icon" is the infinity symbol. You probably called getPeriod() when it was reading zero.
You probably shorted the connection on the analog breakout. Make sure the PWM is in the correct orientation.
