All of that is done via the serial port, not the PWM port. As Mark showed, the user program knows the complete status. That data is also sent to the dashboard, so you can see it real time during a match.

There isn't any reason, that I can think of, to try to figure out what the PWM port is used for, as everything we want is already provided.
