PCA9685 16 CH 12Bit PWM Servo Motor Driver Board Controller IIC Interface for Arduino Raspberry Pi 3B 3B+ for Robot

Introduction

The PCA9685 is a 16-channel I2C-bus controlled LED controller optimized for Red/Green/Blue/Amber (RGBA) color backlighting applications.

Each LED output has individual 12-bit resolution (4096 steps) PWM controller with a fixed frequency.

The controller operates at a programmable frequency from a typical 24 Hz to 1526 Hz with a duty cycle that is adjustable from 0% to 100% so the LED can be set to output a specific brightness. All outputs are set to the same PWM frequency.

With the PCA9685 as the master chip, the 16-channel 12-bit PWM Servo Driver only needs 2 pins to control 16 servos, thus greatly reducing the occupant I/Os.

PCA9685 16-Channel 12-Bit PWM Servo Driver can help a lot when there are insufficient PWM output pins for the MCU in your project.

The only condition is that the main control chip supports I2C communication, which means enabling the communication between the chip and PCA9685, so as to control multiple servos simultaneously.

Moreover, it can be connected to 62 driver boards at most in a cascade way, which means it will be able to control 992 servos in total.
