Unlock High-Channel Servo Control Locally
Running out of PWM outputs on your Raspberry Pi or Arduino? The 16-Channel PWM Servo HAT is purpose-built for South African educators, robotics hobbyists, and engineers who need precise, multi-servo control in a compact solution. Powered by the PCA9685 chipset, these boards take the PWM load off your microcontroller, letting your project scale without signal jitter or pin constraints.
What Makes the 16-Channel PWM Servo HAT Popular?
- Drive up to 16 servos or LEDs per board, chainable for even larger installations.
- I2C interface simplifies wiring and frees up GPIO pins.
- On-board regulator (where equipped) supports external 5-6V power input for stable servo drive.
- Wide compatibility with mainstream boards (Raspberry Pi models, Arduino Uno, ESP32, and more).
Local Stock, Trusted Brands & Branch Support
- South African inventory available from making favourites like Adafruit and Waveshare in Communica's robotics section.
- VAT invoices, quotes for procurement, and collection at Samrand, Pretoria, or Cape Town branches.

How to Integrate a 16-Channel PWM Servo HAT
Most boards come pre-soldered or as DIY kits. For Raspberry Pi integration, simply plug onto the 40-pin header and connect an external power source for servos. For Arduino, use the breakout via I2C lines (SDA/SCL), typically on pins A4/A5 (Uno).
Typical Applications
- Robotic arms, biped walkers, and animatronics (up to 16 servo axes)
- Automated camera sliders and pan-tilt rigs
- LED matrix lighting and effect switching (non-servo PWM output)
Wiring Example: Connecting to a Pi
Pi HAT Servo Bank 3.3V -> VCC (board logic) GND -> GND (common) SDA -> SDA (I2C data) SCL -> SCL (I2C clock) | Ext 5V ---+--- SERVO_V+ (to all servo V+ pins)
Power tip: Always power servos directly from a stable 5-6V supply as the Pi/Arduino cannot supply enough current for multiple motors. Communica stocks reliable switching adaptors and screw terminal blocks in-store.
Compatibility & Extensions
- Stackable I2C design: Use multiple HATs by changing I2C addresses (jumper pads/solder bridges).
- Compatible accessories: Enclosures, GPIO ribbon cables, mounting standoffs - available in Communica's Robotics and Prototyping aisles.
- Supported by top open-source libraries from Adafruit, Waveshare, and the global maker community.
