The I2C servo motor driver board by Surepic© is designed to make connecting motors, sensors and other components to your Arduino,Rasberi Pi-based project as fast and easy as possible.

This board allows your Raspberry Pi,Arduino, etc., to control up to 8 servo motors in a simple way via an I2C connection. Thanks to its I2C capabilities, this board saves the Raspberry Pi's,Arduino`s GPIO pins, allowing you to use them for other purposes.

Each of this board's 8 servo motor GPIO pin headers has been spaced out to the standard 3-pin servo pinout (ground, 5V, signal) to make it easier to attach your servo motors and can supply up to 1.25A to each of 8 outputs.

This driver includes headers to connect to a Raspberry Pi,Arduino , so there is no need for soldering to make it up and running.

Using the onboard jumpers for power selection, the input power can be supplied via Arduino's,Rasberi Pi`s regulated voltage, or a completely separate power supply attached to the board's 2.1mm barrel jack. This feature makes this board ideal if you are connecting multiple servos!

• Compared to other servo drivers this board offers:
• Independent power control(ON/OFF) to each outputs via i2c.
• Independent duty cycle control to each outputs via i2c.
• Adjustable frequency to up to 1.6khz.
• 1.25A per output when powered from external supply.
• LEDs on each output providing feedback if output is ON or OFF.
• 2 selectable power sources selectable with jumpers and with led status indicators.
• Onboard voltage regulator (input 6-7v 3A recommended), when barrel jack is used.
• Open collector outputs on power pins.
• I2C addresses are selectable with jumpers for both onboard ICs.
• Fully compatible with fast mode I2C 400kbits/s.
• Each board is fully tested before shipping.

• Compatible with Adafruit, Sparkfun servo libraries.
