Introduction
------------

The ``LU9685`` is being sold on a PCB as a 16 channel servo controller by various sellers like AliExpress, E-bay, etc.
However the chip itself is capable of addressing upto 20 servos.

These "16-channel"-boards resemble the design of many older PCA9685 boards and many sellers claim this ``LU9685`` is a direct replacement for the ``PCA9685``.
However, these are quite different chips.

The ``LU9685`` is specifically aimed to be used as a servo controller chip as it can only set the PWM pulse per pin between 0.5 ms .. 2.5 ms.

The PWM frequency can be set from 20 Hz - 300 Hz.
