Description

12-bit I2C 16-Channel Servo Driver

This is a Waveshare 12-bit I2C 16-Channel Servo Driver for micro: bit. This I2C 16-Channel Servo Driver board is an PWM/servo expansion board for micro: bit. Use PCA9685 chip, expands up to 16 channels and support 12-bits resolution for each channel. Using I2C interface.

This board also integrates 5V regulator, up to 3A output current, can be powered from battery through VIN terminal. It could be used to for Robot applications.

You can connect battery to the green socket VIN on the left for power supply, for VIM, voltage range 6V~12V. 5V regulator on board could output 3A (MAX) current. You can also connect 5V power supply to the POWER interface on the right, and it could power micro: bit via 3.3V regulator. GPIOs on top are interfaces of servo.

Black pins are connected to GND (mostly connect to brown wire of servo). Red pins are VCC pin connected to 5V. Yellow GPIOs are signal wires of PWM, channel 0~15 supports 16 servos connected at the same time.
