I could do with something a bit physically smaller that the Pico, so the
Tiny looks good, but it needs to be able to handle at least two RC servos
so I need a couple of PWN outputs and two other lines for reading switch
inputs. So, although at first glance this looks good, I can't see any
indication that its still got PWM available on its remaining output
lines. The USB connector is fine for talking to a control box so I could
care less about RS232 capabilities.

At worst, if the Tiny can't drive the servos and the Pico turns out to be
too big, there's always a PICAXE M14 to fall back on, but it wants to be
programmed in a rather nasty unsigned integer BASIC when I'd much rather
be programming in C.
