Control a Lot of Servoes With Arduino!

At first I should tell something. I had not beautiful pictures. So, I have taken the pictures from bildr.blog.

We know, an Arduino UNO has not much pwm pins to control many servoes. So, we often fall in a problem to control more servoes by an arduino. Today, I will explain you how can you control a lot of servoes woth arduino. So, let's started.

Gather Materials

You will must need an arduino, you know. Then, you will need a breakout board for pwm pins. It's name is TLC5940 breakout board. Here is the list -

1. Arduino UNO R3

2. TLC5940 breakout board

3. 5 volt adapter

4. As much servo as you want to control

That's all!

Here is the circuit. Connect them by jumper cables.

More Servoes!

You can connect only 16 servoes with a TLC5940 breakout board. But if you want to control more servoes you can follow this circuit diagram. And now, controlling a lot of servoes is not will be a matter to you. Will not it!

Thanks!

But you should not stop here. You can make a humanoid robot and more by this idea!! Here is an URL for making humanoid robot

Thanks a lot!
