FAQs
Q: How do I power the Bus Servo Driver Board?
A: Connect the power supply via the onboard 2P 3.5mm screw terminal. The input voltage range is 5-12V DC, which must match the rated voltage of the servos used and provide sufficient current to support all connected servos during operation.
Q: How do I connect servos and control devices to the board?
A: Servos are connected to the driver board via the 2.5mm 3P terminal, ensuring proper wiring (power, ground, signal lines). Control devices can be connected to a computer via the USB interface or to a microcontroller via the UART interface, with the specific mode determined by the jumper settings.
Q: How many servos can this driver board control?
A: It can control multiple ST/SC series serial bus servos, with the exact number depending on the power supply capacity and bus load conditions. Theoretically, it supports a large number of servos working together.
