16 channel servo controller with Arduino | PCA9685 16 channel PWM servo motor driver tutorial

[@saf6284]

I’ve been having a problem with my servos for WEEKS and this worked instantly thanks so much!!

[@parkersproductions3336]

Awesome. I’m new to coding and was wondering what I should do if I wanted each servo to rotate randomly between a minimum rotation and a maximum set rotation (with a random wait time between 0-2 between rotations). Does anyone know the code for this if I were using an Arduino Uno?

[@SriramV-mm6qw]

The video is really helpful. I just have one doubt. The voltage rating of the external power supply is 5V. What is the current rating ?

[@TheAmazingBuoy]

This video was great but can we connect a L298N motor driver to the arduino too

[@CreaminItClean]

Great video. Ive got a problem with my servos. It seems that my SERVOMAX is upwards of 3000 and my SERVOMIN is around 200. I am using MicroServo TowerPro.

[@koushikkashyap439]

Thank you so much Bro.. Your videos are perfect - right to the point. The website and blog are also very precise. Please keep on posting and educating.

Thank you

[@eillszhang8897]

thanks for your tutorial, your video show me how to control the servos!!!

Does this handle the 5v power supply? And one more thing is which components have you used for power supply?

[@renarruda]

Hello, thanks for the tutorial! How would I add a DS3231 module to this schematic?

[@panjatcharaml9683]

Nice video bro and my servo didn't work problem is there any problem with the hardware I am using micro servo

Great video. One question I have is what power supply your used for the pca hat with those cables, I only find those with round one cable outputs?

[@sritu_hobby]

5v power supply

[@eraldo9916]

Thanks.😃

[@mariorosas6364]

what are the limitations to this servo driver board? Is it possible to run multiple servos at once? I only saw one servo running at a time

[@gonzalodias9540]

Hi, how did you get the min 150 and max 600 values? THanks

Hi sir the video is really helpfull I have a doubt, can onle one servo motor set for continuious rotations with few minutes delay

[@sritu_hobby]

I think that is servo motor error

[@jordansitu6279]

hey man, excellent video, could you please tell me what kind of external power supply you used to power the PCA module?

[@sritu_hobby]

5VDC power supply

[@Create_o_raptor]

Maximum operating voltage of board??.. and what is the max voltage we can supply the servos with via the board

[@sritu_hobby]

Maximum voltage is 6v

[@AbdulRahman-jz3px]

How do I find out which servomin and servomax are compatible with the servo used? can I find out from the datasheet? and which part should i change if i want to drive 4 servos at the same time with different finishing angles?

[@Endless795]

What battery pack do you use?

I’m working with an Arduino Uno R4 WiFi and a PCA9685 PWM driver module to control a servo motor. Although the Arduino IDE indicates that the code is running correctly and attempts to move the servo, the servo motor itself does not respond or move. This issue persists even though the code is properly uploaded and the Serial Monitor shows that the IDE is executing the code. Here’s what I’ve checked: I2C Connections: I have connected SDA and SCL from the PCA9685 to the corresponding SDA and SCL pins on the Arduino Uno R4 WiFi. I’m unsure if SDA and SCL should be connected to pins A4 and A5, respectively, but I’m using the dedicated SDA and SCL pins on the Uno R4 WiFi. I2C Device Detection: I used an I2C scanner code to detect devices on the bus, but nothing appears in the Serial Monitor. This suggests that the PCA9685 may not be detected on the I2C bus. Power Supply: I’m concerned about whether the PCA9685 and the servo motor are receiving sufficient power. Code Functionality: The code is designed to control the servo motor via the PCA9685 module. The code seems to be working as expected when run manually, but the servo motor does not move.

What’s the pincher thingys you connect to the male to male jumper wires?

[@tonyp4894]

Those thingys are called alligator clips. They come from a power supply that supplies 5 volts DC to the servo driver. ( the little blue box on the servo driver)
