Software PWM vs. Servo Library

$

I am using an MSP430fr5969. The board only has one hardware pwm available and it located on P1.2. 

 

For my application, I need to generate two different pwm signals to control two different motors. One of those is a servo, the other is a linear actuator but it is controlled through a motor speed controller that uses a pwm input (replicating that of an RC receiver). 

 

Can I use the servo library and attach a servo to any pin or does that pin have to have hardware pwm? I looked through the Servo.cpp file and it seems to be doing software serial.

 

When i run servo examples, and hook the pin up to an oscilloscope I do not get nice square waves being generated as an output. Currently I am using pin 9, the defualt for the servo libraries.

 

Thanks,

Nolan
