PWM is the mother class of the Speed Controllers. The OP did not specify any speed controllers, so I had to appeal to the common denominator. I use it personally.

If you really want to brag about the low level... Use the tDIO class found in fpga package.

I don't know where you got that idea from... But for 3 years, I have used the PWM class and its "setRaw" function without having to do that. Both for Victors and Jaguars.
