Is it possible to use an analog pin as output ?

Hi,

Is it possible to use an analog pin as output in atmega8 board with Arduino0017 with this library?
http://www.arduino.cc/playground/ComponentLib/Servo

In other words is it possible to use the library to generate PWM ouputs on all pins including the analog ones?

Its possible to use an analogue pin as a digital output but not PWM. You just refer to them as digital pins 14 - 19 instead of analogue 0-5. They behave exactly as normal digital pins when addressed as such.

But will the library mentioned above be able to output a PWM (I think since the servo library is more of a software implementation it should be able to generate it on an analog pin.)

Am I right pluggy?

It does..

Yes, you can use analogue pins for servos, but that's not PWM.
