Or maybe you want to drive a lot of LEDs with precise PWM output. Then you realize that your microcontroller has a limited number of PWM outputs!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat now? You could give up OR you could just get our handy PWM and Servo driver shield. It's now Arduino-ready and works with any Arduino that uses shields: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.makerlab-electronics.com\/product\/arduino-uno-r3-italy\/\"\u003eUno\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.makerlab-electronics.com\/product\/arduino-mega-2560-r3-italy\/\"\u003eMega\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.makerlab-electronics.com\/product\/arduino-mega-adk-italy\/\"\u003eADK\u003c\/a\u003e, its all good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing only two pins, control 16 free-running PWM outputs! You can even chain up 62 breakouts to control up to 992 PWM outputs\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIt's an I2C-controlled PWM driver with a built in clock. That means that, unlike the TLC5940 family, you do not need to continuously send it signal tying up your microcontroller, its completely free running!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIt is 5V compliant, which means you can control it from a 3.3V microcontroller and still safely drive up to 6V outputs (this is good for when you want to control white or blue LEDs with 3.4+ forward voltages)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e6 address select pins so you can wire up to 62 of these on a single i2c bus, a total of 992 outputs - that's a lot of servos or LEDs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eAdjustable frequency PWM up to about 1.6 KHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e12-bit resolution for each output - for servos, that means about 4us resolution at 60Hz update rate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eConfigurable push-pull or open-drain output\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eOutput enable pin to quickly disable all the outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe wrapped up this lovely chip into a breakout board with a couple nice extras\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eTerminal block for power input (or you can use the 0.1\" breakouts on the side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eReverse polarity protection on the terminal block input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eGreen power-good LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e3 pin connectors in groups of 4 so you can plug in 16 servos at once (Servo plugs are slightly wider than 0.1\" so you can only stack 4 next to each other on 0.1\" header\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\"Chain-able\" design\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eA spot to place a big capacitor on the V+ line (in case you need it)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e330 ohm series resistors on all the output lines to protect them, and to make driving LEDs trivial\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSolder jumpers for the 6 address select pins\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Others","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42290967347391,"sku":"MLE00059","price":279.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0531\/3419\/6927\/files\/3c3cbb2ad2fe298f2eb90c3a1e9be272.jpg?v=1735816257","url":"https:\/\/makerlab.ph\/products\/16-channel-12-bit-pwm-servo-shield-module-i2c-interface-for-arduino","provider":"Makerlab PH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
