SERVO2 Module 16 Channels - 13.2 (PCA9685)

by M5Stack

SERVO 2 is an updated servo driver module in the M5Stack stackable module series.

It uses a PCA9685 16 channel PWM controller to control 16 channel servos at the same time. The power input is 6-12V DC and two SY8368AQQC chips are used for voltage reduction.

The maximum total power output of dual channel is 35W (5V / 3.5A * 2), and the maximum output power of single channel is 25W (5V / 5A). When the battery base is used for power supply, the maximum output power is 5V / 2A. The module communicates with the host directly through I2C (the default address is 0x40) however the I2C address can be changed(0x40 - 0x47) through the dial switch. This also means that multiple Servo 2 modules can be stacked and used simultaneously. There is a power switch on the board to control the power supply of Servo 2.

The module must use the external power supply of DC interface when driving the servo. When using the AXP192 power management chip's main control (such as CORE2), the M-BUS power mode needs to be configured as input when the program is initialized.
