Servos for Miles!
The media could not be loaded. Paired with a RPI4b and a little help from AI, you have the coolest animatronic you can make. Super easy to wire and control from code.

Works
So far I have four servo motors running. Probably great some more servos..build to robot.

Seems well made
This seems like a nice piece of kit.All of the production looks good aside from some film on the back, but that's only cosmetic.Solder lugs, and installed pins all look good.I look forward to using this in a future product.

Nice PCA9685 driver!
The media could not be loaded. For $8.59, how can you go wrong? I tested it with 4 MG90S servos and it worked flawlessly, I have no doubt I could load up another dozen and control them successfully. The PC board looks like quality workmanship. The power-in is a little hard to read but it is marked V+ on the one side (no GND).I had no issues using it with an Arduino Uno and Adafruit_PWMServoDriver library, and a quick sketch to operate the servos. I'll ultimately be pairing it with a Raspberry Pi 4B for a little robotics project.
