SparkFun Servo pHAT for Raspberry Pi & NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano

The SparkFun Servo pHAT allows your Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano to control up to 16 servo motors in a straightforward and uncomplicated manner via an I2C connection. Thanks to its I2C capabilities this PWM HAT saves the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins allowing you to use them for other purposes. The Servo pHAT also features a serial terminal connection allowing you to boot a Raspberry Pi without a monitor or keyboard. We have provided a Qwiic connector for easy interfacing with the I2C bus using the Qwiic system.Power to the SparkFun Servo pHAT can be supplied through a USB-C connector. This will power either the servo motors only or both the servo motors and the Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano connected to the HAT. We switched to USB-C to let you draw more current from your servos than ever before. This USB-C connector can also connect your single-board computer via a serial port allowing you to avoid using a monitor and keyboard during set-up. To supply power only to the servo power rail (and not the 5V power rail) you need to cut a small trace on the isolation jumper. Doing this allows you to drive heavier loads coming from multiple or larger servos. We've even added power-protection circuits to the design to prevent damage to power sources.Each of this pHAT's 16 servo motor pin headers is spaced to the standard 3-pin servo pinout (ground 5V signal) to make it easier to attach your servo motors. The Servo pHAT is the same size and form factor as a Raspberry Pi Zero and Zero W but it can also operate with a regular Raspberry Pi or NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano.
