Servo 2 Click designed for precise control of multiple standard servo motors

Experience smooth and accurate servo movements with up to 4096 steps of adjustment per channel using TLC59401

 

Servo 2 Click is a compact add-on board designed for precise control of multiple standard servo motors. It is based on the TLC59401, a 16-channel constant-current sink LED driver from Texas Instruments with integrated PWM control.

 

KEY FEATURES:
 

  • 16 Independent Channels: Allows control of up to 16 servo motors
  • 12-bit PWM Resolution: Provides 4096 steps of adjustment for fine-grained servo control
  • Constant Current Sink: Each channel can deliver up to 120mA (set by an external resistor)
  • Open-Load Detection: Detects disconnected servo motors or other open-circuit faults
  • Thermal Error Flags: Provides indication of over-temperature conditions
  • High-Speed 4-Wire SPI Interface: Enables fast and efficient communication with the host microcontroller
  • External Power Supply (VEXT): Supports servo power up to 17V via a single terminal

 

APPLICATIONS:
 

  • Enables precise control of robot joints and actuators
  • Controls the position of various motorized mechanisms
  • Provides accurate control for automated processes
  • Drives the movements of animatronic figures
  • Controls the pan and tilt motion of cameras and sensors
  • Can also be used for precise brightness control of up to 16 LEDs

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™

Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click board to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented the socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click board to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click board nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas, and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.

ABOUT MIKROE

MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more than million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1800+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
