    Default 2 pins

    As I stated, I am driving 2 seperate h-bridges...each bridge has 2 inputs. I have a total of 4 inputs to both h-bridges and want to always drive 2 pins at any one time.
    if I want my robot to turn right I need to drive

    'ex: not actual code...

    rightwheelfw var portb.0
    rightwheelrs var portb.1
    leftwheelfw var portb.2
    leftwheelrs var portb.3

    turnright:
    high rightwheelrs
    high leftwheelfw
    pause 50
    goto commands

    turnleft:
    high rightwheelfw
    high leftwheelrs
    pause 50
    goto commands


    In my case though I want to have variable speed control not just HIGH.
    This is why I want PWM on 2 pins at the same time.

    there's some PIC which give you 2 different CCP module and allow that.

    There's also some PIC with ECCP (even a 12F615), which can be used to drive in half bridge/Full bridge mode + few feature such as dead band time. 18F2431/4431 are some good example.

    depending your expected PWM frequency, Darrel's Muti_SPWM could be used

    Timer interrupt is another way to go.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.
