On the backside of the board, the numeration of the channels can be
read.
The 3 pins of each channel are from top to bottom the connection for
ground, voltage and signal [GND | V+ | PWM].
The board can be plugged on the GPIO pins of the Raspberry Pi and the
cable of your 5V servomotors can be connected with the pins of the
channels.
An additional power supply via a cable or a 5V coaxial power connector is
mandatory necessary to operate.
To prevent sudden voltage drops, the board has a capacitor. If in special
cases this is not enough, you can connect an additional
capacitor parallel via the according connection.
The power supply must be adjusted to the power of the connected mo-
tors. If the power supply is insufficiently dimensioned, the motors will
stutter instead of moving smoothly. We recommend the use of our 4.8
power supply

Netzteil2 which offers a 24 W continuous
output.
After pinning the expansion board on your Raspberry Pi, connecting an
additional power supply and connecting the servomotors, the board is
ready to use.
Safety instructions
To prevent inverse polarity, please note the markings on the board from the
according input (+ and
-
symbol).
An inverse polarity can cause damage to your board, the connected
Raspberry Pi and other peripheries!
The motors you connect and the movement they generate can be dange-
rous.
Therefore, we recommend sufficient safety distance or rather to take
measurements so that no one can get in touch with the moving parts.
