## Changes
+20240123: The output_pin SET_PIN CYCLE_TIME parameter has been
+removed. Use the new
+[pwm_cycle_time](Config_Reference.md#pwm_cycle_time) module if it is
+necessary to dynamically change a pwm pin's cycle time.
+
20240123: The output_pin `maximum_mcu_duration` parameter is
deprecated. Use a [pwm_tool config section](Config_Reference.md#pwm_tool)
instead. The option will be removed in the near future.

+Run-time configurable output pins with dynamic pwm cycle timing (one
+may define any number of sections with an "pwm_cycle_time" prefix).
+Pins configured here will be setup as output pins and one may modify
+them at run-time using "SET_PIN PIN=my_pin VALUE=.1 CYCLE_TIME=0.100"
+type extended [g-code commands](G-Codes.md#pwm_cycle_time).
