Thanks everybody, it's going to take a bit to absorb this since pwm control
is new to me.

My original thought was to monitor two pots on two adc inputs to the
micro.  Depending on the voltage at each pot I would set the pwm duty cycle
corresponding to the pot voltage.  Set up for one channel I was going to
use TIs h-bridge (Digikey p/n 296-25377-1-ND) to controle each motor.  From
how I understand it DJ's "pulse dithering modulation" would work with this.
