815 - ADAFRUIT 16-CHANNEL 12BIT PWM SERVO DRIVER-12C INTRFAC PCA9685

You want to make a cool robot maybe a hexapod walker or maybe just a piece of art with a lot of moving parts. Or maybe you want to drive a lot of LEDs with precise PWM output. Then you realize that your microcontroller has a limited number of PWM outputs! What now? You could give up OR you could just get this handy PWM and Servo driver breakout.

When we saw this chip we quickly realized what an excellent addon this would be. Using only two pins control 16 freerunning PWM outputs! You can even chain up 62 breakouts to control up to 992 PWM outputs.

This product comes with a fully tested and assembled breakout as well as 4 pieces of 3x4 male straight header (for servo/LED plugs) a 2pin terminal block (for power) and a piece of 6pin 0.1 header (to plug into a breadboard). A little light soldering will be required to assemble and customize the board by attaching the desired headers but it is a 15 minute task that even a beginner can do.
