ESP32 Servo Driver Board with WiFi and BLE 5.0

Scuttling mechatronics and robotic props in movies like Jurassic Park make it look so easy, but we electronics makers know better. Careful planning and forethought are necessary for driving multiple motors in your glorious masterpiece. You must ensure all motors have the correct power, resolution and other calibrations to function without grinding to a halt. A capable servo driver is a crucial part of your next CNC or robotics project and this ESP32 Servo Driver Board controls up to a whopping 253 servos.

The ESP32 Servo Driver is equipped with an impressive ESP32 controller and built-in 2.4G WiFi and BLE 5.0. The Espressif ESP32 main controller allows the driver to control up to 253 SC15 or ST3215 series serial bus servos at the same time. Although powering so many motors may present a challenge, the board’s capability is impressive and still includes additional features. With the WiFi and Bluetooth built-in, remote control is possible via your smartphone! A USB Type-C port is also available for a direct download interface. An on-board OLED screen displays key information suitable for complex robotics that requires feedback on angle and load. Various open-source applications are possible with this much functionality packed into the ESP32 Servo Driver.

With its compact and smart design, the ESP32 Servo Driver saves a lot of installation space and is ideal for big and small maker projects. A wide input voltage range of 6V to 12V demonstrates its user-friendliness in a variety of applications. Even more fun features are outlined in Waveshare’s Wiki page that helps you get started with the awesome ESP32 Servo Driver Expansion Board.

Typical Applications for the ESP32 Server Driver Expansion Board:

The ESP32 Server Driver is an expansion board packed to the brim with fun features that make it a joy to use with wide applications. Makers often use “big brain” controllers like these for awesome robotic and CNC projects where multiple motors need to be controlled. The ESP32 Servo Driver goes above and beyond with in-built WiFi and Bluetooth. This connectivity allows you to remote control your servo motors using your smartphone. Catering up to 253 servos, the ESP32 Servo Driver is ideal for driving multi-limbed robotics like hexapods and humanoid structures, available on open-source websites and communities.
