This is the 8-Channel PWM or Servo FeatherWing, you can \u003cstrong\u003eadd 8 x 12-bit PWM outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e to your Feather board. Using our Feather Stacking Headers or Feather Female Headers you can connect a FeatherWing on top or bottom of your Feather board and let the board take flight!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou want to make a\u003cstrong\u003e cool robot\u003c\/strong\u003e, maybe a \u003cstrong\u003ehexapod walker\u003c\/strong\u003e, or maybe just a piece of art with a lot of moving parts. Or maybe you want to \u003cstrong\u003edrive a lot of LEDs with precise PWM output\u003c\/strong\u003e. What now? You could give up OR you could just get our handy PWM and Servo FeatherWing. It's a lot like our popular PWM\/Servo Shield but with half the channels \u0026amp; squished into a nice small portable size and works with any of our Feather boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the FeatherWing only uses the I2C (SDA \u0026amp; SCL pins), it works \u003cstrong\u003ewith any and all Feathers\u003c\/strong\u003e! You can stack it with any other FeatherWing or with itself (just make sure you have each wing with a unique I2C address) Check out our range of Feather boards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product \u003cstrong\u003ecomes with a fully tested and assembled wing\u003c\/strong\u003e as well as \u003cstrong\u003e2 pieces of 3x4 male straight header\u003c\/strong\u003e (for servo\/LED plugs), a \u003cstrong\u003e2-pin terminal block\u003c\/strong\u003e (for power) and a \u003cstrong\u003estick of 0.1\" header \u003c\/strong\u003eso you can plug into a Feather. A little \u003cstrong\u003elight soldering will be required\u003c\/strong\u003e to assemble and customize the board by attaching the desired headers but it is a 15 minute task that even a beginner can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you want to use right-angle 3x4 headers, we also carry a 4 pack in the shop. \u003cstrong\u003eServos and Feather not included\u003c\/strong\u003e, but we have lots of servos in the shop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e The terminal blocks included with your product may be blue or black.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/B-brDrnMXqY?si=uTsCyYqHbu6X8wey\u0026amp;start=774\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerminal block for power input (or you can use the 0.1\" breakouts on the side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse polarity protection on the terminal block input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGreen power-good LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo groups of 4 outputs on either side, 8 total.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStackable design.
