This is the servo motor PCB module. DC
motor is different from servo motor in
terms of the number of pin. Servo motor
requires a large amount of current.
Therefore, the board requires external
power source. Having PCB board will
allow us to handle multiple servo motors
Figure 6.5: Servo motor PCB module easily and ease the process of trouble-
shooting if there is an error. Additionally, it
can maintain each servo motor to receive
stable amount of current.
Rotary encoder PCB is a board that
supports multiple number of rotary
encoders. Rotary encoder is one of the most
important sensors in robotics because it
gives feed-back on the robot’s position. By
having this PCB, it reduces the fault of a
non-functional rotary encoder that is
Figure 6.6: Rotary encoder PCB module caused by unstable voltage and current. It
can also secure the connection of channel A
and channel B for pull-up resistor circuit.
