I was wondering how many RC servos can be easily controlled with the
handy board. I have seen that people have sucessully used 2 at once, but
have not seen any more than that.  Is it possible or has no one ever had
a need for it?

It seems that to control the servo, a normally digital input is
converted to a digital ouput to generate the PWM signal to the servo. Is
this the case, and if so, why can't all the digital lines be used in
this mannar? That would mean that a total of 9 servos could be
indepentently addressed.
