SparkFun Pi Servo HAT - SparkFun

SparkFun Pi Servo HAT allows the Raspberry Pi to control up to 16 servos engines in a straightforward and uncomplicated manner through a I2C connection . Thanks to its I2C functions, this HAT PWM stores the Raspberry Pi GPIO, allowing it to be used for other fins. In addition, the Pi Servo HAT adds a serial terminal connection, which will allow you to operate a Raspberry Pi without having to connect it to a monitor and keyboard.

The power for the SparkFun Pi Servo HAT is required by a microUSB connector that can be used to power only the servo motors, or to power the servo motors, as well as the Pi that is connected to the HAT. This USB connector can also be used to connect the Pi via a serial port connection to avoid the need to use a monitor and keyboard to configure the Pi. To supply power to the servo power bus only (not the Pi 5 V power bus), you only need to remove a small drop of solder on the isolation jumper . This allows you to handle heavier loads from multiple or larger servos.
