Hello! How much servos can I connect to the my CipKIT Uno32 at the same time?

Using the SoftPWMServo library (which comes with your MPIDE download) you can have one RC servo on every I/O pin. Thus, for an Uno32 or uC32 board, you could have 42, I believe. On the Max32, you can have up to 83.

Note, I have not tested 83 simultaneous RC servos with the library. I have however, looked at the output of all 83 pins and seen that their RC servo pulses are all correct.

Thank you, Brian! But what methods this library have and how can I use it?

Look in your MPIDE install directory/hardware/pic32/libraries/SoftPWMServo

You will see a README.TXT, as well as an example folder. Check them out, and if you have any questions, let us know.
