Serial Bus Servo Driver Board, Integrates Servo Power Supply and Control Circuit, for ST/SC Series Serial Bus Servos, Supports 253 ST/SC Series Serial Bus Servos at The Same Time

I've been dabbling in hobby robotics for a few months, but have previously been limited to standard RC servos. I needed more control for an animatronic project idea, and had the chance to try out an SC15 servo, but it needed a controller. This board was that controller.In all honesty, there's little to write about, because it just works - I set the jumpers to UART mode, plugged the pins into my ESP32's serial pins, connected 5.5V to the power posts, loaded up the Waveshare examples, and... voila! I had programmable servo control, and I was able to exercise both the control and feedback functions.The only thing that concerned me a little is that the sockets leading to the servo are a little tight, and the plastic shell started to work loose from the pins when I tried to remove the cable. However, I worked around that by loosening the cable slightly using a flathead screwdriver, before pulling it free.These are compact and effective boards at a great price - highly recommended!

The board works great, was following Alexander Koch's robot build. However one of the boards I received appears to be broken, as when using it with Dynamixel 2.0 it detected a motor at every id (seems to be a bad board, the other one didn't and worked fine) so seems to be hit or miss, but still cheap so it works

This serial bus servo driver board is well made, the soldering on the board is impeccable, all of the writing on the PCB is clear and legible. Like most waveshare products, they do not include instructions which I've become used to and you can easily lookup instructions on how to use the board by doing a quick search on your favorite search engine.Overall, the board performs as expected and is at a price point which I would expect. If you are going to be using several of these, it's best to purchase them in bulk as the price point will drop significantly per board but if you're using it for building out concepts this is an acceptable price for a single board.

Small and looks like a solid build. I'm impressed by just how small the footprint is. That's a big help when you're trying to keep things light and compact. There does not seem to be any documentation but there are plenty of sources online. All systems are go for my project robot.

Product looks great but had a lot of issues with the provided library . online documentation does not provide much information and in some areas completely lacking. Finally, found a good version if the library and everything looks great
