Re: Power output on I/O port
Sorry, I may have been mis-leading in my previous post.
I'm not planning on using a servo for this project, I'm actually trying to get a magnetic solenoid to extend by providing it with > 7v power.

The solenoid only has 2 wires, ground and Vcc... when >7v (7-9v capable) is supplied, the soleniod will extend, when its removed, the soleniod retracks.

My thought was to use some sort of 3-state buffer that when the PWM is set high, it will relay the Vcc through and provide the soleniod with 7.2v power.

Sorry for the lack of prior detail
