Hiwonder LSC-16 16CH Servo Controller Board Programmable Robot & Robotic Arm Control Board

Description:
The 16-channel servo controller is equipped with a high-performance STM32 microcontroller featuring a Cortex-M3 core for ARM. It not only controls the movement of multiple servos but also supports adjustable servo speed for smooth and precise motion. With a built-in 16M large-capacity memory, the controller can store up to 230 action groups, and each group can contain up to 510 actions.

The 16-channel servo controller features over-current protection, effectively preventing the servos from burning out due to a locked rotor. It also comes with PC software that supports online graphical debugging, making programming and control easier and more intuitive.

This controller supports simultaneous control of up to 16 servos, making it ideal for robotic arm development, and DIY robot projects.

PC Software Interface:

* We provide PC software that supports online debugging without installing any drivers. It features automatic connection and multiple language options for user convenience.
* You can debug the controller through the software without any coding. Simply drag the sliders to control servo rotation, allowing quick and easy testing to ensure your project runs successfully.

How to Debug:

* The 16-channel servos can be controlled individually.
* Provide the 16-channel servo debugging board with a voltage of 5–8.4V.
* Connect the servos to the S0–S15 interfaces. The development board can send commands through the serial port or I²C to control the corresponding servo.

Supports Development Board Expansion:
* The servo controller has a reserved serial communication interface, allowing TTL serial communication with other development boards. The development board can send instructions to the controller, enabling your robot to achieve intelligent control.
* We provide three communication routines for Ar-duino, Raspberry Pi, and Jetson Nano as references to facilitate your learning.
