Pwm breakout phat
About the Pwm breakout phat
Pwm breakout phat is an open source PCB design by asssaf, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 65 × 30 mm, with 18 components from 7 distinct parts.
By type, the board carries 16 connectors, 1 IC and 1 jumper.
It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts and robotics & motion designs in this gallery.
From the project
A pHAT for Raspberry Pi, breaking out the PWM pins and some proto area
The PWM pins are broken out into four 3-pin connectors that can be used with 5V servos. Granted, it's not recommended to run a servo directly from the pi pins without any protection. But in practice, running micro servos (such as sg90), especially one at a time, should be ok (but do it at your own risk).
In order to enable hardware PWM, the appropriate overlay needs to be enabled in config.txt. For example:
