The servo drive board uses PCA9685 chip, which is a 16 channel 12 bit PWM servo Machine driven, I2C communication, requires two I2C lines to drive 16 PWM channels Both the duration and duty cycle are controllable. Not only that, it also supports cascading multiple modules. It can also be more Changing the device ID can control the switch, PWM, and duty cycle of 16 output terminals.<\/span><\/p>\n

Merkmale:<\/span><\/p>\n

The logic power supply voltage is 3-5V, and the maximum servo power supply voltage is 6V. Separate power supply for logic voltage and servo voltageThe logic power supply voltage is 3-5V, and the maximum servo power supply voltage is 6V. Separate power supply for logic voltage and servo voltage.<\/span><\/p>\n

This board\/chip uses I2C 7-bit address between 0x60-0x80, selectable with jumpers<\/span><\/p>\n

Terminal block for power input (or you can use the 0.1″ breakouts on the side)<\/span><\/p>\n

Reverse polarity protection on the terminal block input<\/span><\/p>\n

Green power-good LED<\/span><\/p>\n

3 pin connectors in groups of 4 so you can plug in 16 servos at once (Servo plugs are slightly wider than 0.1″ so you can only stack 4 next to each other on 0.1″ header<\/span><\/p>\n

“Chain-able” design<\/span><\/p>\n

A spot to place a big capacitor on the V+ line (in case you need it)<\/span><\/p>\n

220 ohm series resistors on all the output lines to protect them, and to make driving LEDs trivial<\/span><\/p>\n

Solder jumpers for the 6 address select pins<\/span><\/p>\n

i2c-controlled PWM driver with a built in clock. Unlike the TLC5940 family, you do not need to continuously send it signal tying up your microcontroller, its completely free running!<\/span><\/p>\n

It is 5V compliant, which means you can control it from a 3.3V microcontroller and still safely drive up to 6V outputs (this is good for when you want to control white or blue LEDs with 3.4+ forward voltages)<\/span><\/p>\n

6 address select pins so you can wire up to 62 of these on a single i2c bus, a total of 992 outputs – that’s a lot of servos or LEDs<\/span><\/p>\n

Adjustable frequency PWM up to about 1.6 KHz<\/span><\/p>\n

12-bit resolution for each output – for servos, that means about 4us resolution at 60Hz update rate<\/span><\/p>\n

Configurable push-pull or open-drain output<\/span><\/p>\n

Output enable pin to quickly disable all the outputs<\/span><\/p>\n

(1)Drive board connected to Arduino:<\/span><\/p>\n

The PWM driver board uses the I2C method, so only four lines can be connected to the Arduino device:<\/span><\/p>\n

“Classic” Arduino pin mode:<\/span><\/p>\n

+ 5v -> VCC<\/span><\/p>\n

GND -> GND<\/span><\/p>\n

Analog 4 -> SDA<\/span><\/p>\n

Analog 5 -> SCL<\/span><\/p>\n

Old Mega pin way:<\/span><\/p>\n

+ 5v -> VCC<\/span><\/p>\n

GND -> GND<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital 20 -> SDA<\/span><\/p>\n

Digital 21 -> SCL<\/span><\/p>\n

R3 and later Arduino pin method (Uno, Mega &<\/span><\/p>\n

Leonardo):<\/span><\/p>\n

(These boards have dedicated SDA and SCL pins)<\/span><\/p>\n

+ 5v -> VCC<\/span><\/p>\n

GND -> GND<\/span><\/p>\n

SDA -> SDA<\/span><\/p>\n

SCL -> SCL<\/span><\/p>\n

VCC pin is only for the chip power supply, if you want to connect the servo or LED lights, use the V + pin power supply, V + pin supports 3.3 ~ 6V power supply (chip safe voltage 5V). It is recommended to connect the external power supply via the power supply terminal.<\/span><\/p>\n

(2) power supply part:<\/span><\/p>\n

Most of the servo design voltage is 5 ~ 6V, especially in a number of steering gear at the same time running, with the need for high-power power supply. If you are directly using the Arduino 5V pin to power the servo directly, there are some unpredictable problems, so we recommend that you have a suitable external power supply for the drive board.<\/span><\/p>\n

(3) Connect the servo:<\/span><\/p>\n

Most servos are connected using standard 3-wire female plugs, as long as the corresponding pin into the driver board on it. (Ground wire is generally black or brown, the signal line is generally yellow or white)<\/span><\/p>\n

(4) for the driver board assigned address:<\/span><\/p>\n

Each drive board of the cascade needs to have a unique access address. The initial I2C address of each driver board is 0 \u00d7 40, you can modify the upper right corner of the jumper I2C address. Connect a jumper with solder to indicate a binary number “1”.<\/span><\/p>\n
