Hi Steve. The purpose is for motor control. I already made a circuit using the pulsout command. It works but, if I can have HPWM running the motors in the backround, it frees-up the PIC to do other things like checking battery voltage, turn on lights, monitor the motor FET's for shorts, etc. I've pretty much decided I'll have to use a 28 pin PIC such as 16F73.
