In reply to Scott Clifford. The reset is automatically on all PWMs that are UDB based... you must be using the TCPWM

What was it about the c-keyword “volatile” that was misunderstood- please share it with us! and thanks for all your efforts here, it really clears things up for me

I like your comments on using global vs local variables and your use of the “static” attribute, but you might do it a (very) little bit better:
You moved the lines
char Serial_Command;
char StringToPrint[90];
into main() because these variables were accessed only locally.
As a side-effect the memory for the variables is taken from the stack space because main() is a function and allocation follows the “automatic” rules.
When the “static” attribute is applied here to both variables, the needed space would be allocated from ram as well, but the free stack space will not be affected. In a world of GB ram this is not worth talking about, but in (not at 😉 the embedded world this could be of concern when resources run short.
