That's the plan, I'm actually going to do three channels and for simplicity I plan to use a seperate PIC for each channel with the same basic code (the differences in code will be due to the complexity of the control needed (ie. some will have position feedback, others won't) and the motor being driven (using a stepper on one channel and DC motors on the other two)).
