Keyestudio Micro:bit 16-channel Servo Shield

1. Introduction

We always fail to drive several motors by Micro:bit control board in

DIY experiment. To tell the truth, the output voltage of Micro:bit

control board is DC 3.3V while servo should be driven by DC 5V. Also,

the drive current of this board is low, and the controlled IO ports are

limit when driving multiple servos.

With this in mind, we specially design this Keyestudio Micro:bit 16-

channel servo shield. It mainly adopts a PCA9685PW chip, which

enables to communicate with Micro:bit control board for I2C. This

shield includes 16 IO ports, making it convenient to connect servos

and control 16 servos angle. We expand each control terminal to G,

V (5V) and S and use 3pin headers with a spacing of 2.54mm as

interfaces.

When it comes to power supply, we can use Micro USB interface to

input DC 5V voltage, or use two green wiring terminals to input DC

4.5V-28V voltage.

More importantly, it adopts a golden finger interface to bring out

some control terminals on the Micro:bit control board and 3.3V

voltage output terminals, which is convenient for you to connect

sensors and modules to the Micro:bit.

Note: The normal no-load current of servo is about 220mA,

and the maximum affordable current of Micro USB is 2A. So if

you power this board via Micro USB, the board is unable to

drive 16 servos simultaneously.
