## Description

Ever wanted to drive a ton of Dynamixel AX/MX servos from an Arduino? This shield makes it easy! It's got seven outputs controlled from an Atmega8 over a half-duplex connection. You can even daisy chain servos on each output to make use of as many as your power supply can provide for! You can address each servo on the bus individually, and collect feedback on position, velocity, torque, current, temperature and more!

 Some possible uses for this shield: - Education on servomotors
- A many-axis robot arm
- Hexapod Robot
- Any other servo-driven application
 
 Specification - MCU: Atmega8
