Can an EyeBot drive more than 12 servos?

0

You can connect a total of 16 servos to the EyeBot, but then you’d lose some other functionality like timer and sound, so 14 servos is a reasonable maximum. There are 12 connectors for servos to plug in directly (TPU channels 2..13), and you can use the 2 motor connectors (motor A, motor B) to connect two additional servos with an adaptor cable. You have ground, Vcc and one PWM signal per motor connector. Check with an oscilloscope whether Motor+ or Motor- has the desired signal before you connect one extra servo (this depends on the software HDT settings). PLEASE NOTE: connecting a high number of servos might result in a total current above 3A, which is the current limit for the EyeBot! If this happens, a resettable fuse will temporarily shut down the controller.. IMPORTANT: If you need to connect a large number of high current servos, you should not use the connectors on the back of the EyeBot. Instead, run separate cables for power supply (Vcc, ground) directly from the power supply
