Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Is the description of the PULSE command still accurate with the PicoMite given it has a much higher frequency?

The minimum is 5µs at 40MHz to 40µs at 5MHz

Current manual p115.

"For a pulse of less than 3 ms the accuracy is ± 1 µs.
For a pulse of 3 ms or more the accuracy is ± 0.5 ms.
A pulse of 3 ms or more will run in the background. Up to five
different and concurrent pulses can be running in the background and
each can have its time changed by issuing a new PULSE command or it
can be terminated by issuing a PULSE command with zero for 'width'."

Edit
Using a PIO program and maximum CPU speed you can make much shorter pulses.
