16 Channel Servo Controller

SC16A offers reliable yet user friendly RC Servo motor controller to hobbyist and students. It is designed to control 16 independent standard RC (Remote Control) servo motors simultaneously in a single board.  Each servo signal pin is able to generate servo pulses from 0.5 ms to 2.5 ms, which is greater than the range of most servos, further allows for servos to operate 180 degrees. Through serial communication, SC16A can be daisy chain in 2 boards to offer independent control over 32 RC servo motors simultaneously. The host of SC16A can either be a PC desktop, Laptop with USB port, or microcontroller with UART interface. Both USB and UART interface present a flexible, fast and easy to use feature. With USB, it is plug and play, user is able to get it running within 5 minutes time.
