Servo Driver Module Shield 16 Channel 12-bit PWM I2C interface PCA9685

SKU: FA2003 Tag:
Weight 0.040 kg
Dimensions 6.9 × 5.4 cm
Feature 1

TB6612 MOSFET driver with 1.2A per channel and 3A peak current capability

Feature 2

Tested compatible with UNO, Leonardo, ADK/Mega R3, Due, Diecimila & Duemilanov

Feature 3

It also has much lower voltage drops across the motor so you get more torque out of your batteries, and there are built-in flyback diodes as well

Feature 4

This chip handles all the motor and speed controls over I2C

You want to make a cool robot, maybe a hexapod walker, or maybe just a piece of art with a lot of moving parts. Or maybe you want to drive a lot of LEDs with precise PWM output. Then you realize that your microcontroller has a limited number of PWM outputs! What now?

Description:

TB6612 MOSFET driver with 1.2A per channel and 3A peak current capability, It also has much lower voltage drops across the motor so you get more torque out of your batteries, and there are built-in flyback diodes as well. Instead of using a latch and the PWM pins, we have a fully-dedicated PWM driver chip onboard. This chip handles all the motor and speed controls over I2C. Only two pins (SDA & SCL) are required to drive the multiple motors, and since it’s I2C you can also connect any other I2C devices or shields to the same pins. This also makes it drop-in compatible with any, such as the Uno, Due, Leonardo and Mega R3. Completely stackable design: 5 address-select pins mean up to 32 stackable shields: that’s 64 steppers or 128 DC motors. Works with Mega/ADK R2 and earlier with 2 wire jumpers.
