returning an IO to a GPIO after HWPWM

Doing the IO(x)=1 doesn\\\'t seem to work.

To engage the HWPWM the IO PINSEL register was programmed for Timer Match
output. To change it back you have to write to the PINSEL register. Details on
this in the NXP User Manual, or look at the HWPWM.bas file.

For instance this line of code in HWPWM.bas

PCB_PINSEL1 = PCB_PINSEL1 or &H00000080 'IO(11)

sets bits 7 and 6 to select the match output.

To make it a GPIO again bits 7 and 6 should be set to 0.

PCB_PINSEL1 = PCB_PINSEL1 and not &H000000c0
