The Arduino MEGA has 12 ports available for PWM generation.
Hardware Timing Servo Ports - Pin 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12 and 13. Hardware Timing PWM (H-Bridge Friendly) Ports - Pin 4, 9, 10.
Users can use the "Motors and Sensor Setup" utility (found under the Robot menu) to configure their ports for the various types of motors:

bMotorReflected
| bool bMotorReflected | |
| (bool) Boolean array with one entry for each motor. Indicates that the direction of a motor should be reflected 180 degrees. Useful when mechanical design results in a logical "reversed" condition of a motor. | |
|
motor
| int motor[tMotor motor] | ||||||
| (int) An array variable with one element for each of the possible motors.
When used with a motor, this command is used to set the speed (-127 to +127) for a motor. Negative values are reverse; positive forward. Zero is stopped. When used with a servo, this command is used to set the position (-127 to +127) of the servo. Zero is the "center" position of the servo, and -127 to +127 is the range of the servo. Note that your servo may not be able to travel the full -127 to +127 range, so please experiment with smaller values to avoid breaking your servo. | ||||||
