The 16-Channel Arduino Servo Controller Board is a device designed to control up to 16 servomotors independently and simultaneously, especially useful in modelling applications and robotics projects. Its high 1 microsecond PWM resolution ensures precise control of each servo's movement.
This board can be controlled from a PC using commands sent via the serial port, using various programming languages such as C, C++, C.NET or Visual Basic. It is also compatible with microcontrollers such as PIC, AVR and Arduino through a UART TTL interface, making it highly versatile for different electronic developments.
Main features
- Simultaneous and independent control of up to 16 servomotors.
- 1 microsecond PWM resolution for precise movements.
- Two independent power supplies: one for the board (6,5V to 12V) and another for the servos (generally 5V).
- Automatic communication speed (baud rate) between 9600 and 128000.
- Compatible with USB and UART TTL for control from PC or microcontrollers.
- Compact dimensions: 51 mm x 43,5 mm x 1,6 mm.
Typical uses
- Modelling: control of multiple servos in scale models and vehicles.
- Robotics: development of robots with coordinated and precise movements.
- Autonomous vehicles: control of actuators for navigation and manoeuvres.
- Educational projects and prototypes that require advanced servo control.
Compatibility
The board is compatible with any microcontroller that supports UART TTL communication, including Arduino, PIC and AVR. It can also be controlled from a PC using software that sends commands via the serial port, making it easy to integrate into different development environments.
Its design with two independent power supplies ensures stable and safe operation for the board and servos, avoiding interference and voltage drops.
In short, this controller board is an efficient and flexible solution for anyone looking to control multiple servomotors with precision and ease in their electronic projects.

Customer Questions & Answers
Can this board be used with microcontrollers other than Arduino, such as PIC or Raspberry Pi?
Yes, communication is via UART TTL, making it compatible with most microcontrollers, including PIC, AVR and platforms such as Raspberry Pi (using logic level adapters if necessary). The only requirement is that the device can send compatible serial commands.
What are the board dimensions and what is included in the package when purchasing it?
The board measures 51 mm x 43.5 mm x 1.6 mm. In general, the package includes the controller board, soldered connectors and, in some versions, a USB cable. It is advisable to check the exact contents with the seller, as these may vary by supplier.
Does it require any additional cooling for prolonged use or high load on all channels?
The board does not include heatsinks or fans, and normally does not require them in standard applications. However, if 16 servos are operated simultaneously under maximum load, it is essential to ensure good ventilation and use a suitable power supply to avoid overheating of the wiring and board tracks. Monitoring the temperature during demanding operation is good practice.
How many servomotors can I control with this board?
It can control up to 16 servomotors independently and simultaneously.
Which devices is this board compatible with?
It is compatible with PCs via USB and with microcontrollers such as Arduino, PIC and AVR through UART TTL.
What voltage range does the board and the servos need?
The board requires a supply of 6,5V to 12V, while the servos generally run on 5V.
Does it include software to control the board?
Yes, it includes example PC software that makes control via serial port commands easier.
What is the PWM control resolution?
The PWM resolution is 1 microsecond, which allows very precise servo control.
