Wiring Diagram

Example Arduino Code

#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_PWMServoDriver.h>

Adafruit_PWMServoDriver pwm = Adafruit_PWMServoDriver();

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pwm.begin();
  pwm.setPWMFreq(50); // Typical for servos
}

void loop() {
  // Drive channel 0 to minimum pulse
  pwm.setPWM(0, 0, 150);
  delay(1000);
  
  // Drive channel 0 to maximum pulse
  pwm.setPWM(0, 0, 600);
  delay(1000);
