PACKAGE CONTENTS
10 x PCA9685 16-Channel Servo Driver Module (with pre-soldered headers)
SPECIFICATIONS
Driver Chip: PCA9685
Channels: 16 PWM Output Channels
PWM Resolution: 12-Bit
Communication Interface: I2C (IIC)
Operating Voltage: DC 5-10V
Board Dimensions: 61mm x 25mm
Output Line Protection: 220 ohm series resistor on each channel
Input Capacitor: 1000uF, 10V for power stability
Features: Power indicator LED, Reverse polarity protection on power input, I2C address selection jumpers
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect a stable DC 5-10V power source to the green terminal block, ensuring correct polarity.
2. Connect the module's SCL and SDA pins to your microcontroller's corresponding I2C pins.
3. If using multiple boards, set a unique I2C address for each one using the solder jumpers.
4. Plug your servos or LEDs directly into the pre-soldered 3-pin output headers.
5. Power on the system and use an appropriate library in your code to send commands to the driver.
APPLICATION SCENARIOS
- Robotics: Build and control multi-jointed robot arms, hexapod walkers, humanoid robots, and other robotic creations that require precise control over multiple motors.
- Animatronics and RC Models: Animate puppets, models, and custom remote-controlled vehicles with smooth, lifelike movements.
- LED Dimming & Effects: Create sophisticated custom lighting systems, controlling the brightness of up to 16 individual LEDs or LED channels for displays and ambient lighting.
- Microcontroller Pin Expansion: A perfect solution for Arduino projects where you need more PWM outputs than the main board can provide, offloading all PWM timing to this dedicated driver.
