This is a 16-channel servo driver that can drive 16 x RC servos over I2C interface. The project is built using PCA9685 chip, a 16-channel PWM generator that can drive 16-channel servos simultaneously. The board can be connected to Arduino or another microcontroller. Driving robots, and animatronics puppets is easy with this board. The board works with 5VDC and a separate power supply connector is provided to power the RC servo with 6VDC. 6 x address Solder jumper is provided to set the board address, and this helps users to wire up 62 board on a single I2C line and drive up to 992 servos. The board also can be used for other applications that require 16-channel PWM signals. The frequency can be adjusted between 24 Hz to 1526 Hz and the duty cycle ranges from 0 to 100%.

It is important to use a high current power supply that should be able to power the total load of 16 servos and use a C4 = 1000uF/10V capacitor. You can also download the Arduino code to test the board. The test is done with Arduino UNO. The following Arduino pins are used to perform the test, refer to the connection diagram for the connection between Arduino Uno and the PWM board.
