Story
1.Dimensions 1 inch x 1 inch
2.Can be used to remotely control a Raspberry Pi using a serial terminal connection, eliminating the need for a monitor and keyboard
3.16 PWM channels for your Raspberry Pi, controllable via I²C
4.Designed primarily for LED control, but can also be used with other PWM devices such as servos
5.These channels are broken out in a header combination that is perfect for connecting servo motors
6.Capable of handling 3 different power supplies and 2 different voltage levels
1.3 types of power supplies include 40-Pin Female Header, USB-C Connector and RVR Header
2.To provide reverse current protection, the board utilizes circuitry that acts as an ideal diode
3.Ideal diode circuit protection prevents Pi Servo pHAT from supplying reverse power to USB-C and RVR connections

Assembling with Raspberry Pi
Assembling the Pi Servo board with the Raspberry Pi is easy. First make sure there is no power. Then, stack the board onto the Raspberry Pi so that the PCBs are aligned with each other; the Pi Servo board should not protrude to the side.
Precautions
Stacking the Pi Servo board with the PCB protruding to the side of the Raspberry Pi instead of the top (or above) will connect the pins incorrectly and will most likely break something.
Although usually small, it's possible to short out, lose power, and/or break something even with a Raspberry Pi hat connected. Best practice is to never plug in a hat while any device is powered on (including hats, servos, LEDs, or other qwiic boards).
Never plug in a servo while the Raspberry Pi is running. The sudden current spike required to power the servo motors will reset your Raspberry Pi. Always plug in all servos first, then start.
Pi Servo board is properly connected to the Raspberry Pi and the servo is working.
