Exclamation PWM input?

So my team is now done with this FRC season and we're moving onto another competition which involves a different control system. So this new control system is a RF receiver that outputs PWM signals based upon the output of a RC plane remote. Normally just using the receiver on its own was perfect but we've run into a snag this year because we need the analog breakout board on the cRIO for our pneumatic systems. So my question is: is there a class in WPI to receive PWM input on the Digital Side Car? If not I believe I can write my own using the Digital Input Class and a time class

Also I have been going over the WPI library a little bit and it seems that driver station can be skipped while still utilizing the various classes that it provides can anyone confirm this as I'm away from our facility and unable to test this theory.

Thanks In Advance.
