Re: Controlling PWMs through hardware

What about using some smaller micros to do it? Just buy a cheap 8bit micro that has a couple Analog to Digital pins and bit bang the signal out? Lighter than a CRIO or the old FRC control systems ever could be (plus uses less energy). You could, if you have one laying around, use a VEX brain to do it if you wanted.
