Bottango Servo Shield

This Arduino Shield compatible board will simplify powering your servos. It's the kind of product I was shocked didn't easily exist already, so I made it myself! One of the earliest hurdles to building your own servo driven robots is easily powering those servos. This shield makes it easy!

Features:

• Fits the common Arduino shield form factor, so you can plug it right in to an Arduino Uno or Mega microcontroller.
• 12 servo header pins, connected directly to digital pins 2 - 11 for routing servo signal.
• DC Barrel Jack input for easy power into your servos.
• Rated for 5v - 8.4v power input. (See power supply requirements note below. Most servos want 5v)
• Rated for current up to 7 amps.
• Three high quality polymer decoupling capacitors to help even out power spikes.
• Reset Button.
• Header pins for a reference ground, in case you want to use the shield not plugged into an Arduino.
• Status LEDs for power and logic connections.

PCB color and exact on board components may vary between revisions.

Note that with an Arduino Uno, Bottango is limited to 8 servos max per Arduino Uno. See the Bottango Discord for more details on hardware that can go above 8 servos.
