Hey guys...this Adafruit 16-channel PWM/Servo Shield integrates seamlessly to ARC now...
So if you are having one sitting on the shelf somewhere, give it a try and use some ARC functionality to drive your servos!!

Someday soon you'll be able to edit and add your own firmwares... we're working on it
One thing where I am a little stuck is, since I connected my 16-Channel servo Driver (which basically has the same pinout and functionality than the shield) via I2C to my Raspberry Pi...how can I control the board by connecting to my EZBPi?
It would be great if this could be possible!!
This is the board connected to my Raspberry Pi via I2C

But if this is not possible for now, I can still use the EZBPi functionality to drive Serial Bus Servos which is also fun!!
you connect to that serial port in ARC.
My Raspberry Pi is connecting to the Server Board using its I2C ports...
If I have to use a Raspberry Pi as a bridge, I would need to change the wiring everytime I am changing setups...
eg my Raspi only solution and the EZBPi solution.
Its not a big deal, I will just solder the I2C with open endings to the servo Board, and plug them either to the Arduino or to the Raspi...
I was just hoping it could be done by the EZBPi talk to the servo Board directly!!
I am aware of the situation that I am probably the only guy here using this setup, so don't worry, I can plug and unplug a cable every now and then. It's great that I can run my robot on ARC now without too much re-wiring!!
Both of those settings need to be selected that match the Arduino.
I am trying to connect on this port /dev/ttyACM0 and with this Baudrate 57600

Is it possible to connect it to the ez-b controller?
Or do i need to use a arduino?
Because i can't see it in the "add control" list...
