16 Channel PWM Servo Driver Module Shield

16 Channel PWM Servo Driver Module

Are you looking to create a unique robot, such as a hexapod walker or a visually stunning piece with intricate movement? Perhaps you need to control numerous LEDs with precise PWM output. However, you may have discovered that your microcontroller has a limited number of PWM outputs. No need to worry – 16 Channel PWM Servo Driver Module is here to assist!

What is the best course of action? You have two options: giving up or utilizing our convenient PWM and Servo driver shield. This shield is now Arduino-compatible and compatible with all shields used by Arduinos, such as Uno, Mega, and ADK.

Easily manage up to 992 PWM outputs by linking together a maximum of 62 breakouts, using just two pins.

This 16 Channel PWM Servo Driver Module is controlled by I2C and includes a clock. This sets it apart from the TLC5940 series, as you won’t have to constantly send it a signal and occupy your microcontroller – it runs independently!

Being 5V compliant, it allows for safe control from a 3.3V microcontroller while driving up to 6V outputs. This is beneficial for controlling LEDs with forward voltages of 3.4 like white or blue ones.

By utilizing 6 address select pins, you can easily connect up to 62 of these on one i2c bus. This results in a whopping 992 outputs, allowing for a large number of servos or LEDs to be used.

• 16 Channel PWM Servo Driver Module with a variable frequency range of up to approximately 1.6 KHz.
• With a 12-bit resolution assigned to each output, servos can achieve a precision of approximately 4 microseconds when updated at a rate of 60Hz.
• The output can be configured as either push-pull or open-drain.
• One can use the output enable pin to swiftly deactivate all outputs.
• We encased this beautiful chip in a breakout board with some additional features.
• An alternative option for power input is the terminal block, or the 0.1″ break located on the side.
• Polarity reversal protection is provided for the input on the terminal block.
• Green power is made even better with the use of LED technology.
• You can connect 16 servos simultaneously using 3 pin connectors grouped in sets of 4. Keep in mind that servo plugs are wider than the standard 0.1″ header, thus limiting stacking to only 4 per header.
• Design that can be chained together
• There is an available location on the V line for a sizable capacitor, should it be required.
• All output lines are equipped with 330-ohm series resistors in order to protect them and simplify the process of driving LEDs.
• Solder the jumpers to the 6 address select pins.
• Our online store offers a diverse selection of Servo Motors and corresponding Servo Cables. Don’t hesitate to click below and start browsing.
• Servo motors are essential components in many electronic systems. They play a crucial role in controlling motion and positioning within a given system.
• The cable used to extend the reach of a servo.

Characteristics of 16 Channel PWM Servo Driver Module:
