DFRobot Serial Bus Servo Driver Board
DFRobot Serial Bus Servo Driver Board is a compact, high-performance controller engineered to manage up to 253 ST/SC series bus servos for complex robotic systems. This board features USB and UART communication interfaces and acts as a central bridge between a host controller and the servo network. The driver board operates on a supply voltage of 9VDC to 12.6VDC. This board's primary strength is its ability to read real-time feedback on each servo's angle, load, and voltage, in addition to transmitting orders. The driver board's complete integration of power management and bi-directional control circuitry streamlines the development of advanced robotics from multi-axis robotic arms to sophisticated legged robots. Typical applications include multi-DOF robotic arms, advanced legged robots, interactive art and animatronics, custom pan-tilt systems, and rapid prototyping.
