Hi

In my application, I need to use an output pin for two functions. I need it as a normal output and control it from firmware and then at the correct time, have it function as the output of a timer (PWM) to modulate a signal.

I have three questions:

1. How do I Force a timer in a PSoC Creator (4.3) schematic to use a specific base timer, eg. BT3. I need this as the TIOA output is assigned to a specific pin that I need to use.
2. How do I flip the output between a firmware controlled state or under timer output control?
3. Why can I assign TIOA1_1  to pin 7 but not TIOA1_0 to pin 11 as per the documentation? I use the S6E1A12C0AGV20000 chip.

I may be missing something on the use of the PWM timer, but cannot figure out what.

Assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Best regards

Chris
