2.5mm mounting holes

FYI, the 3mm mounting screws do not fit these boards. Buy 2.5mm screws if you don't have them. The mounting holes have metal bushings, so drilling them open can damage the board. Search "Adafruit PCA9685 16 Channel Servo Driver" for great hookup instructions.

Pros
  • Industry and Science
Cons
  • Socket required

First class customer service.

These are cool motor drivers; They are built with pretty decent quality. You can also control anything with the PWM input, e.g. e.g. LEDs. You can also cascade them to power 900+ servos lol! However, some of the pins were bent; probably bent in transit, although not that hard to reshape with needle nose pliers and they still work. I have 2 6v servos controlled via PCA9685 using an Arduino Uno R3 as servo control platform with 2 10k potentiometers. Pretty neat, but they come with no…

  • motor driver
