Servo Shield

Post by deshipu » Fri Mar 24, 2017 6:28 pm

You might be aware that one of my hobbies is building walking robots. Those use a lot of servos, and I need a convenient way to control them all. That's why I experimented for the last couple of years with different approaches to a servo controller board. My latest project is a servo shield for the D1 Mini board. Recently I also decided to sell some of them on Tindie, so that a wider audience can use them.

Since the shield uses the same chip as the servo controller board from Adafruit, you can use the same libraries and the same example code will work. I even wrote the library for MicroPython for it.

The project is completely open source, and all the designs are available under a Creative Commons license, so you can make your own yourself if you want.

Thanks, I didn't want this to be a blatant advertisement, and I figured that if someone is interested, finding it on Tindie is easy enough.
