Arduino servo shield

The Arduino Servo Shield is an expansion board designed to control multiple servo motors simultaneously with ease. It is compatible with Arduino boards and provides additional functionality to manage and control up to 16 servo motors through a single shield. This shield is ideal for robotics, automation projects, and applications requiring precise servo control.

Key Features:

• Servo Control: Can control up to 16 servo motors independently
• Stackable Design: Can be stacked on top of other Arduino shields
• PWM Control: Uses Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to control servo position
• Power Supply: External power supply for servo motors to prevent overloading the Arduino
• Compact Form Factor: Designed to fit onto standard Arduino boards

Technical Specifications:

• Dimensions:
  • Length: 70 mm
  • Width: 60 mm
  • Height: 20 mm (excluding connectors)
• Weight: Approximately 40 g
• Servo Channels: Up to 16 channels
• Operating Voltage: 5V DC (for logic and control), external power for servos (typically 4.8V to 6V)
• Connector Type: Standard 3-pin servo connectors
• Power Supply: External power input (supports up to 6V for servos)
• Communication Interface: I2C for communication with Arduino
• Stackable: Yes, designed to stack on top of other Arduino shields

Applications:

• Robotics: Used for controlling multiple servos in robotic arms, legs, and other robotic systems.
• Automation: Ideal for automation systems requiring precise servo control.
• Model Building: Suitable for scale models and hobby projects involving multiple servos.
• Educational Projects: Helps in teaching and learning about servo motors and control systems.
• Prototyping: Assists in rapid prototyping of projects involving servo-based mechanisms.
