#126716 - Danger ahead
Responding to: ???'s previous message

There seems to me to be an inherent danger of using 4 pwms to control a 'h' bridge. The reason is, how do you guarantee that the correct operation occurs in all circumstances? It takes a finite amount of time for the cpu to change 4 pwms via software - so unless the hardware is designed to cope with this, smoke may occur when two opposing drivers are turned on albeit briefly. There are specific microcontrollers with the inbuilt hardware specifically for this purpose. Using general hardware to perform this is probably 'not a good idea'.
