In this video we learn how to control 16 Sermo motors using PCA9685 PWM conroller with I2C
This code shows how control each servo one-by-one more them 10°, 20°, 30°.... up 180°.
Servos are numbered from 0 to 15.

* This is the Arduino code PAC6985 16 channel servo controller
* watch the video for details (V1) and demo http://youtu.be/y8X9X10Tn1k
* This code is #1 for V2 Video Watch the video :https://youtu.be/bal2STaoQ1M
* I have got 3 codes as follow:
#1-Arduino Code to run one by one all servos from 0 to 180°
#2-Arduino Code to control specific servos with specific angle
#3-Arduino Code to run 2 or all servos at together

This is an example for our Adafruit 16-channel PWM & Servo driver
Servo test - this will drive 16 servos, one after the other
Pick one up today in the adafruit shop!

These displays use I2C to communicate, 2 pins are required to
interface. For Arduino UNOs, thats SCL -> Analog 5, SDA -> Analog 4
