PWMPAL basics

I've been trying to figure out exactly what the purpose of the PWMPAL (28020)··is ? As I already have hobby-type servo's that run just fine off of my bs3p24's. Would the PWMPAL give a servo an uninterupted signal ? Because right now I know I am limited in my code that is between the servo-out signal code. So I am thinking the PWMPAL might be nice to use if it continues to output a serve signal while I have the bs2p24 go and run other code. I imagine my servos and other servo commanded hardware would be happier and less likely to have problems.

    Lightsout,

    Yup, the PWMPAL can run your servos while your Stamp is doing other things. Very handy. It also has pulse counters and triggers that will stop the servos if you want. We have used one on our hydrogen powered robot for almost 2 years now and have been very happy with it.
