Cytron 8-Channel RC Servo Controller Shield – 5V 5A Regulated Power for Arduino

The Cytron 8-Channel RC Servo Controller Shield is designed for makers, robotics enthusiasts, and educators who need reliable, high-power servo control for Arduino projects. With its built-in 5V 5A switching regulator, this servo shield eliminates the usual power limitations that come with driving multiple RC servos.

It seamlessly works with popular Arduino boards like Arduino UNO, Mega, CT-UNO, and more – making it an ideal solution for robotics, animatronics, humanoid robots, and automation systems. Keywords naturally included: Arduino servo shield, RC servo controller, 8-channel servo driver, robotics servo control.

This shield allows you to control eight independent RC servos simultaneously, offering precise position and speed control using a simple UART interface. Each channel supports a wide 0.5ms–2.5ms pulse range, enabling full 180° servo rotation control for most RC servos.

Whether you’re building robotic arms, walking robots, pan-tilt systems, or classroom STEM models, this Cytron servo controller shield ensures smooth servo movements, stable power delivery, and user-friendly integration with Arduino.

Features:

• Supports 8 independent RC servo channels, allowing simultaneous multi-servo control for robotics and automation projects.
• Built-in 5V/5A peak (4A continuous) switching regulator, enabling safe and stable servo operation without an external power module.
• Wide input voltage range from 7V to 25V, making it compatible with most robot power systems.
• Offers UART control (UC00A/UC00C and others supported), enabling activation, speed control, positioning, and optional position reporting.
• Generates precise servo pulses from 0.5ms to 2.5ms with a resolution of 0.25 µs for smooth and accurate motion.
• Fully compatible with Arduino logic level (5V) and supports Arduino UNO, Mega, CT-UNO, CT-ARM, etc.
• Stores UART baud rate in non-volatile memory (default 9600).
• Includes independent startup position command for each channel.
