OpenMV® OpenMV3 4 2 M7M4 Servo Driver Expansion Board PCA9685 8CH Channel PWM I2C Interface

Feature The Servo Shield gives your OpenMV Cam the ability to control up to 8 servos in parallel It features the PCA9685 Servo Controller which can also do general purpose PWM Weve got a PCA9685 py script for controlling the chip for general purpose PWM and a Servo py script for controlling servos using the PCA9685 general purpose PWM script Q Can I use the servo shield with the motor shield at the same time A Yes absolutely They both use different pins Q Can I use the servo shield with the pan and tilt shield at the same time A Yes absolutely They both use different pins Applications The Servo Shield is great for applications where you need to use your OpenMV Cam to control things in the real world For example it works great for turning an RC car into a self driving car using your OpenMV Cam for vision and the servo shield to control the throttle and steering motors Typically ESCs supply voltage out on their servo pin headers instead of required voltage So if you hook the servo shield up to your OpenMV Cam and an ESC up to your servo shield everything will be powered Then you can hook up more servos on the other channels SchematicDatasheets Servo Shield Datasheet pdf Servo Shield Schematic pdf Eagle Schematic sch Eagle Board brd Servo Controller Datasheet PCA9685 pdf Power Consumption Idle 6mA 3 3V 106mA w Cam Active 8mA 3 3V 148mA w Cam Temperature Range Storage 40C to 85COperating 40C to 85CSpecifications Weight 9gLength 35mmWid
