...complete newbie to MyRobotLab...

I have the Adafruit16CServoDriver working, now I am looking to try getting Tracking working with Adafruit16CServoDriver but am not getting anywhere.  I have tried everything I can think of, but can't get anything to work.  Is the PCA9685 PWM controller a lost cause for InMoov?

I was hoping for a simpler/cheaper alternative to using the NervoBoard and consuming all the pins on the Arduino...

Hi bcarroll

That is the exact reason that I spent time on the Adafruit16CServoDriver. So we have the same goal.

Could you please upload the script that you are testing with and if it doesn't work, please send a no-worky. The goal is that the Adafruit16CServoDriver should work to replace the Arduino in most cases. I use it in my inMoov build. But I write my own scripts to use it. So many of the InMoov services remain to be tested and examples updated with how to use it.

I tried running your Tracking script (only changed the serial port for the arduino).

instead of servodriver.attach() you should use

servodriver.setController(controllerName, i2cBus, I2cAddress) 

for arduino i2cBus is always 1
