# Servo Board
2+
3+
The Servo Board can be used to control up to 12 RC servos. Many devices
4+
are available that can be controlled as servos, such as RC motor speed
5+
controllers, and these can also be used with the board.

## Indicators
12+
13+
| LED | Meaning | Initial power-up state |
14+
|-------|----------------------|------------------------|
15+
| Power | The board is powered | On
16+
17+
## Connectors
18+
19+
There are 8 servo connections on the left-side of the board, and 4 on
20+
the right. Servo cables are connected vertically, with 0V (the black or
21+
brown wire) at the bottom of the board.
22+
23+
For the servo board to operate correctly, you must connect it to the 12V
24+
power rail from the power board. A green LED will light next to the
25+
servo board 12V connector when it is correctly powered.
26+
27+
## Case Dimensions
28+
29+
The case measures 68x68x21mm. Don't forget that the cables will stick
30+
out.
31+
32+
## Range of servos
33+
34+
When using the majority of servos that we supply, you will find that the
35+
servo will only turn about 90 degrees.
36+
37+
## Specification
38+
39+
| Parameter | Value |
40+
|----------------------------------|-------------|
41+
| Number of servo channels | 12 |
42+
| Nominal input voltage | 11.1V ± 15% |
43+
| Output voltage | 5.5V |
44+
| Maximum total output current[^1] | 10A |
45+
46+
## Designs
47+
-------
48+
49+
You can access the schematics and source code of the firmware on the
50+
servo board in the following places. You do not need this information to
51+
use the board but it may be of interest to some people.
52+
53+
- [Full Schematics](../assets/docs/servo-schematic.pdf)
54+
- [Firmware Source](https://github.com/srobo/servo-v4-fw/)
55+
- [Hardware designs](https://github.com/sourcebots/servo-v4-hw)
56+
57+
[^1]: If the auxiliary input is connected, outputs 8-11 have an independent
58+
maximum current.
