Description
The Designer Systems pHAT-SV16 is a fully featured sixteen [16] servo motor driver with advanced control features. Specifically designed for the Raspberry-Pi Zero (other Raspberry-Pi boards fully supported) the pHAT-SV16 features high speed I2C communication for easy project integration. pHAT-SV16 supports the majority of analogue servos by providing a wide pulse width range of 0.50mS to 2.50mS with 8uS per step accuracy and also provides global activation of new servo position, soft-start & movement complete registers for superior control. pHAT-SV16 also provides address selection jumpers to allow up to four [4] boards to be connected to a single Raspberry-Pi board allowing control of up to sixty-four [64] servos. pHAT-SV16 has applications in robotics, including quadruped, hexapod and octopod robots, process control & sensor manipulation when used in conjunction with standard analogue RC servos.
Features
- Raspberry Pi Zero standard form factor for simple integration into any Raspberry Pi project.
- Sixteen [16] analogue servo driver outputs.
- Individual speed control on each servo with 255 speed settings.
- Screw terminal servo power connection with wide supply range of 3 ~ 8.5VDC (ideal for 7.4V Lithium battery).
- Sixteen (16) level speed control for each servo motor.
- I2C interface to Raspberry-PI Zero freeing GPIO for other applications.
- I2C address jumpers allow up to four [4] SV16 modules to be used together to provide up to 64 servo motors.
- Movement complete and soft-start complete status for each servo.
- Global activation control ensures all steppers/servos start moving together, important for multi-legged robots.
