PCA9685 16 Channel PWM Servo Driver Controller

The PCA9685 16-Channel Servo Driver is a versatile module that allows you to control up to 16 servos using only 2 pins via I2C communication.
 
Key Features:

1. 16 Channels: The PCA9685 provides 16 fully programmable PWM outputs, each with a 12-bit resolution. This means you get a total of 4096 programmable steps for adjusting the duty cycle of each channel.
2. I2C Interface: The module communicates over the I2C bus, making it easy to connect to microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
3. Frequency and Duty Cycle Control: You can adjust the frequency of all 16 channels, which can be programmed from 24Hz to 1526Hz. Additionally, the duty cycle (pulse width) can be set from 0% to 100%.
4. No Additional Arduino Processing Overhead: Unlike direct servo control using individual pins, the on-board PWM controller handles all 16 channels simultaneously without burdening your Arduino with additional processing tasks.
5. Chainable: You can daisy-chain multiple PCA9685 modules together. In fact, you can connect up to 62 of them, controlling up to 992 servos—all using the same 2 pins!

Whether you’re building a robot, animatronic project, or any application that requires precise servo control, the PCA9685 16-Channel Servo Driver is an excellent choice. It simplifies servo management and frees up valuable pins on your microcontroller
