Richard Grimmett

Richard Grimmett has more fun that should be allowed working on robotics projects while teaching Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Brigham Young University Idaho. He has a Bachelors and Masters degree in Electrical Engineering and a PhD in Leadership Studies. He also has 26 years of experience in the Radar and Telecommunications industries, and even has one of the original brick phones. He has written books on the basics of using the BeagleBone Black for robotics projects, and another for the Raspberry PI and yet another for the Arduino.

Connecting a servo motor shield to Arduino

The servo motor shield we'll use in this example is available at most online retailers who sell Arduino Uno, and is made by AdaFruit. The following figure shows the servo motor shield connected to the servo wires:

This particular shield can handle up to 16 servos. The important characteristic of this servo shield is the connection on the right-hand side of the shield. In the GND and VCC connections, you'll place your external voltage and current input, allowing Arduino to control many more servos.
