Connect the servo controller via I2C

“

- [Instructor] In this video I'll show how to connect a Raspberry Pi, a PCA9685 Servo driver and two Servos using I-squared-C. That's a lot of parts, but because I-squared-C is a fairly simple interface it's easier than you might think. I've provided a handout with all the connections written out for your reference. First, make sure there isn't any power to the Raspberry Pi. Then connect Raspberry Pi board pin one to the red breadboard rail. This connects 3.3 volts DC to the breadboard. Then connect Raspberry Pi board pin six to the ground rail of the breadboard this connects ground to the breadboard. Because I'm going to be connecting two devices to the I-squared-C bus I'll bring the I-squared-C pins to the breadboard. I'm going to place a sticky note on the breadboard so I can keep track of the pin designations. Run a jumper from board pin five to a breadboard row on the SCL tag. This is I-squared-C's serial clock.…
