Controlling the servo motor shield with a
program
Now that your hardware is ready, you'll need to program Arduino to send the proper control
signals. To control this shield, you'll need to download a library from Adafruit.
Note
The library for the motor shield can be downloaded from https://learn.adafruit.com/
adafruit-16-channel-pwm-slash-servo-shield/using-the-adafruit-library .
Once you have downloaded the library, you'll need to rename it to install it into the IDE.
Look for the Adafruit-PWM-Servo-Driver-Library-master.zip file in the
directory you downloaded the file from, and unzip this to the directory where your Arduino
library is stored, as shown in the following screenshot:
The Adafruit-PWM-Servo-Driver-Library-master directory should now be
in the library directory. You'll need to change the name of this directory to Ada-
fruitServoDriver . The library and its examples are now available. You can open the
servo example by navigating to File | Examples | AdafruitServoDriver | servo , as shown
in the following screenshot:
