In this Second part we will see a different way to move the Servos and reset their position using the Joystick integrated switch.

Awesome! Currently building a small toy robot car with a claw-arm on top for a Final school project. Using your PCA9685 servo library, I was able to make it wireless. Thanks a lot!

[@BrainybitsCanada]

Sounds like a cool project! Thanks for taking the time to comment and for watching!

Nice idea. Love it . Going to try that on my robot arm thing I made.

Thanks for yet another great video. Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year to you and your family.

Thank you Garth, wishing you, your family and friends, a Happy New Year!

A machinist I watch added "power feed" to his mill using Arduino and some other bits. You might want to check it out. His channel is Stefan Gotteswinter and it's a 2 part series simply called "Quill Feed." If you want to just see the Arduino stuff, it's in part 2 about 10 minutes in. And Happy New Year!

Always wanted to get some machining equipment to work metal, but don't have enough free time right now. But love to see what other people can do. Thanks for the info, I'll check it out! Happy New Year to you as well :)

Happy new Year Ivan and to your company and family. Godbless.

Copied the code, added the zip to the library but compilation error. Asked "HCPCA9685.h" not available. hence Renamed the PCA9685.h to HCPCA9685.h and added the file. Thereafter again error comes at line "HCPCA9685 HCPCA9685(I2CAdd); // Define Library to use I2C communication" "'HCPCA9685' does not name a type"

hello! tnks for video. how to make it autonomos ? which battery needed to control 8 servos via PCA9685?

[@yashwantr5426]

really helpfull

[@halilyilmaz381]

Thanks for this great video. I would like to use the same code, but instead of using the JoySwitch to bring the position back, I would like to control an another servo. Press: min. Angle press: max. Angle. Can you help me please?

Does the Arduino require separate power from the pca9685? Like is his breadboard powering his Arduino( I’m guessing to power it on and turn on the pca9685) or does the power supply power the Arduino through the pca9685?? Cause only having my pca9685 connected to the power supply does not give a response on its led

[@cervezatoledo9634]

hi, how are you?, great post i was wondering if the pca9685 can be used to contol many 28byj_48 stepper motor (using its driver uln2003) ?, could you please suggest me how, thanks a lot, best regards

[@BrainybitsCanada]

Hi, like I replied to GHILLIE7566, I cannot confirm if it would work since I haven't tried it yet.but it's interesting, I will try to take a look to see if it could work by using the PCA9685 module to control the ULN2003. Will let you know. Thanks for watching btw :)

[@cervezatoledo9634]

Thank you , i really appreciate it, thanks , best regards!!
