Renbotics ServoShield Rev

The Renbotics ServoShield is an Arduino-compatible shield that uses two 4017 decade counters to drive up to 16 servos using only 4 pins (digital pins 6 to 9) and as little as one 8bit timer (Timer 2) in standard mode or two 16/8bit timers (Timer 1 and Timer 2 for Duemilanove or Timer 3 for Mega) in high accuracy mode. It also includes a 196 point breadboard style prototyping area.

Model: OSK102E1P

Programming

Sample 1: Simple servo sweeper

#include <ServoShield.h>
ServoShield servos; //Create a ServoShield object
void setup()
{
for (int servo = 0; servo < 16; servo++)//Initialize all 16 servos
{
servos.setbounds(servo, 1000, 2000); //Set the minimum and maximum pulse duration
servos.setposition(servo, 1500); //Set the initial position of the servo
}
servos.start(); //Start the servo shield
}
void loop()
{
for(int pos = 1000; pos < 2000; pos++) //Move the servos from 0 degrees to 180 degrees
{ //in steps of 1 degree
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++) //for all 16 servos
servos.setposition(i, pos); //Tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(1);
}
for(int pos = 2000; pos >= 1000; pos--)//Move the servos from 180 degrees to 0 degrees
{
for (int i = 0; i < 16; i++) //all 16 servos
servos.setposition(i, pos); //Tell servo to go to position in variable 'pos'
delay(1);
}
}
