Description

  • Servo 2040 - 18-Channel Servo Controller
  • Accommodates up to 18 servos for complex projects
  • Monitors power consumption with current sensing
  • Features 6 addressable RGB LEDs for visual feedback
  • Connects up to 6 analog sensors for versatile use
  • Convenient QW/ST connector for Qwiic/STEMMA QT breakouts

The Servo 2040 - 18-Channel Servo Controller is a standalone servo controller designed for projects with numerous moving parts. It features pre-soldered pin headers that can accommodate up to 18 servos, making it suitable for hexapod walkers with multiple legs or robotic arms, legs, or tentacles with various degrees of freedom.

Since servos can be power-hungry, particularly the larger ones, the Servo 2040 includes current monitoring functions to help track power consumption. Additionally, it has six addressable RGB LEDs (also known as Neopixels) for visual feedback and status reports. The controller also offers pin headers for connecting up to six analog sensors, which can be useful for detecting ground proximity, potential collisions, or the pressure exerted by a robotic claw on a test subject.

Furthermore, the Servo 2040 is equipped with a QW/ST connector, making it convenient to add a Qwiic or STEMMA QT breakout. The controller is supported by a well-documented C++/MicroPython servo library, complete with numerous examples demonstrating how to utilize individual features and integrate them seamlessly.
