Yes, it is possible. It is also possible with any number of the other SBCs on the market. However in most cases, the beaglebone has the distinct advantage of having multiple PWMs on board / die. There are more than enough for you to have 4 PWMs without having to buy additional hardware. Of course, all things external to the beaglebone is "on you". -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
