Rich Peripheral Interfaces
Suitable For Different Types Of Robots
ESP32 Main Controller
Rich Resources For Secondary Development
Built-In WiFi And Bluetooth, As Well As ESP-NOW Support, For Wireless Communication
Support Multiple Peripheral Connections
40PIN GPIO Extended Header
The inner side 40PIN header is for directly connecting to the Raspberry Pi or other host boards. And extend the outer side 40PIN header for connecting with other HATs via cables
Serial Bus Servo Control
Allows Controlling Up To 253 ST3215 Serial Bus Servos At The Same Time
Note: One channel UART can control up to 253 bus servos, but due to the high power of the servos, it is necessary to consider whether the power supply solution is enough when using too many servos.
