It features the PCA9685 Servo Controller which can also do general-purpose PWM. We've got a PCA9685.py script for controlling the chip for general-purpose PWM and a Servo.py script for controlling servos using the PCA9685 general-purpose PWM script.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eQ: Can I use the servo shield with the motor shield at the same time?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eA: Yes, absolutely.

For example, it works great for turning an RC car into a self-driving car using your OpenMV Cam for vision and the servo shield to control the throttle and steering motors. Typically ESCs supply voltage out on their servo pin headers instead of required voltage. So, if you hook the servo shield up to your OpenMV Cam and an ESC up to your servo shield everything will be powered. Then you can hook up more servos on the other channels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchematic \u0026amp; Datasheets:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/9211\/files\/OpenMV_Servo_Shield.pdf?10726770933929369108\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eServo Shield Datasheet (.pdf)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/openmv\/openmv-boards\/blob\/master\/shields\/servo\/servo.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eServo Shield Schematic (.pdf)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/openmv\/openmv-boards\/blob\/master\/shields\/servo\/servo.sch\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eEagle Schematic (.sch)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/openmv\/openmv-boards\/blob\/master\/shields\/servo\/servo.brd\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eEagle Board (.brd)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/9211\/files\/PCA9685.pdf?6728113821020459449\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eServo Controller Datasheet: PCA9685 (.pdf)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower Consumption:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eIdle: 6mA @ 3.3V (106mA w\/ Cam)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eActive: 8mA @ 3.3V (148mA w\/ Cam)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eStorage: -40°C to 85°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eOperating: -40°C to 85°C\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eWeight: 9g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eLength: 35mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eWidth: 36mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003eHeight: 22mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:14px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size:16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 x Servo Shield\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/imgaz.staticbg.com\/images\/oaupload\/ser1\/banggood\/images\/B5\/27\/f76fb7fd-bcbf-40a7-aa56-722390a6af10.png\" style=\"width:1000px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/imgaz.staticbg.com\/images\/oaupload\/ser1\/banggood\/images\/48\/E4\/09ba82a4-8d8c-4f34-88b5-f709a36cb04f.jpg\" style=\"width:1000px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/imgaz.staticbg.com\/images\/oaupload\/ser1\/banggood\/images\/B0\/E5\/9cbc9f86-d8a1-4ba7-abfd-2cbde917b9a3.jpg\" style=\"width:1000px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/imgaz.staticbg.com\/images\/oaupload\/ser1\/banggood\/images\/A9\/8A\/846b4d69-65df-4224-b8d8-7095f5b27c44.jpg\" style=\"width:1000px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/imgaz.staticbg.com\/images\/oaupload\/ser1\/banggood\/images\/B2\/D2\/e84c7073-7b07-48b2-814d-2005791c4b70.jpg\" style=\"width:1000px;\"\u003e","brand":"Electronic Pro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35461780635804,"sku":"1610875","price":1019.52,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2787\/9162\/products\/9cbc9f86-d8a1-4ba7-abfd-2cbde917b9a3.jpg?v=1597131416","url":"https:\/\/electronic-pro-south-africa.myshopify.com\/products\/openmv-openmv3-4-2-m7m4-servo-driver-expansion-board-pca9685-8ch-channel-pwm-i2c-interface","provider":"Electronic Pro ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
