“I wasn't expecting the Adafruit 16 channel board to work - more or less - straight out of the box and worked first time with one on my old RPI3b+. Being a UNIX admin for decades, and suffered at the hands of recalcitrant servers and peripherals, I was needless to very imporessed.”
“Great little bonnet. Some assembly is required, just some basic soldering as detailed in the description. Best of all it does work on a Raspberry Pi 5 although you might need to get up to speed on virtual environments to get the Servokit library installed.”
“I want to make a few small robots using raspberry Pi zeros so I got this as a controller for motors and servos. Bit of overkill at the moment but connects well to zero, wished I had soldered the Pins sideways though as will make for neater cabling. Adurfruit have very good and clear Setup and code available on the web site. No doubt will purchase another one.”
“The Servo Bonnet arrived promptly and was easy enough to solder together (even with my bulky soldering iron). Following the guide, I down-loaded the utility and attached a power supply, and hey presto, it worked first time! In no time I had two servos attached and had written some simple code to have them moving how I wanted.
Good job.”
“The bonnet can easily be connected to my Raspberry Pi 4. Although same issue. It would be nice if a link where more information or instructions how to use it. Makes it easier for a beginner like me”
