    A single PIC18 @ 20MHz can control 24 servos with 256 steps:

    Im using a 16F (PIC16F87 to be more specific) @ 20MHz. Im sure it could handle 24 servos even with the way i did it. The problem is that the way i was doing it would have caused problems with the PWM for the LEDs. If PULSOUT allows the next few lines of code to run before it toggles back off then this should be really simple. I dont have anything to test on at the moment but when i get home ill give it a go
