[DPRG] PWM device/circuit?

That's where the BasicX becomes a star. It does everything a stamp can do 
for the same price but it has the added bonus of ADC and  2 x real PWM

Check out the comparison.

Rather then make lots of fudgy circuits to patch your PWM it would be easier 
to change the stamp to a basicX, You will likely run out of program space 
and ram later anyway.
