Do you see any (major) difference between the 16G1782 and the 16F1825? The latter has only 14 pins (compared to the former's 28) and that would help a lot; I only need 5 outputs. Plus, I have a bunch of those around.

Ok, so let's say I use 1 dedicated 16F1825 chip to do the 5 independent blinks - should I use the SPWM include from Darrel? How do I configure the 5 timers with different on/off frequencies?
