    You imply that with the PWM controlled voltage, you will power also the PIC12F683 circuit?

    That's right. I'm just worried that that will hurt the PIC.

    PIC will not be hurt. But as Amoque noted, it will keep reseting because it cannot work from 0 volts, right?

    You have to make new electric connections.

    The board is only 1.5" in diameter and I don't think I can fit anything more on it:

    I don't think the PIC restarting is a problem since all it does is blink 5 LEDs at separate rates, so if it's turning-on-and-turning-off then that could look OK.
