Micro:Bit Servo Driver

16 Channel Servo Driver for micro:bit is a motor driver from which one can control up to 16 motors simultaneously. If you're building a robot with a lot of moving parts, or if you need to monitor a lot of servo motors with PWM yields, the microcontroller's limited PWM yields will be a big problem. The most important thing you can do to solve this problem is to obtain a 16-Channel 12-Bit PWM/Servo Driver.

Features

Adjustable frequency PWM up to about 1.6 KHz
Up to 16-Channel servo/PWM outputs, 12-bit resolution for each channel (4096 scales)
3 pin connectors in groups of 4 so you can plug in 16 servos at once
This board/chip uses an I2C 7-bit address
Expansion Headers for easy connections
I2C controlled and external power supply connector
Compatible with Micro:bit and Micro:bit V2

Specifications

Power supply: 5V OR 6V (power supply connector)

Programming

Drag and Drop

Many people want to learn the process to learn more about micro:bit by getting an understanding of the potential of micro:bit. If one wants to run servo motor and DC motor with the micro:bit motor driver then they can do the following steps.

A user needs to connect the PWM servo motor to the connector(3 pin header) of the servo driver board, labelled as P0, P1, and P2 to connect up to 3 servo motors and Upto 2 DC motors on connector labelled as MA1, MA2 for motor 1 and MB1 and MB2 for motor 2.

Take micro:bit and stack it on the motor driver board’s edge connector.

Connect VIN and ground or the external power supply to the motor driver to provide power to it.

A user needs to switch on the slider switch of the motor driver.
