This 24-channel servo motor controller board connects via a 3.3 VDC 2×20 GPIO interface (ribbon cable included) to a compatible host board, such as any Terasic DE-series FPGA board (e.g., DE0-Nano and DE0-Nano-SoC). The host board sends PWM signals to the motor driver card to control the rotation of the attached servo motors.
