arduino+16路舵机驱动板连接测试

 用Arduino类库驱动舵机并不是一件难事，如果需要驱动很多电机，就需要要占用更多的引脚，也会影响到Arduino的处理能力。专门的舵机驱动板很好的解决了这个问题。

此舵机驱动板使用PCA9685芯片，是16通道12bit PWM舵机驱动，用2个引脚通过I2C就可以驱动16个舵机。不仅如此，你还可以通过级联的方式最多级联62个驱动板，总共可以驱动992个舵机!

 大多数的舵机设计电压都是在5~6V，尤其在多个舵机同时运行时，跟需要有大功率的电源供电。如果直接使用Arduino 5V引脚直接为舵机供电，会出现一些难以预测的问题，所以我们建议你能有个合适的外部电源为驱动板供电。

 

驱动板与Arduino连接

此PWM驱动板采用I2C方式，所以只需要4根线就可以连接到Arduino设备:

为驱动板分配地址

级联的每个驱动板都需要有一个唯一的访问地址。每个驱动板的初始I2C地址是0×40，可以通过右上角的跳线修改I2C地址。用焊锡将一个跳线连上就表示一个二进制数字“1”。

 

按以下方式连接

Arduino uno     PCA9685
+5v -> VCC
GND -> GND
Analog 4 -> SDAAnalog 5 -> SCL
外接电源

使用自带的例程（只接2个舵机）：

/***************************************************
This is an example for our Adafruit 16-channel PWM & Servo driver
Servo test - this will drive 16 servos, one after the other

Pick one up today in the adafruit shop!

These displays use I2C to communicate, 2 pins are required to
interface. For Arduino UNOs, thats SCL -> Analog 5, SDA -> Analog 4
