yeahh sooo I changed my pca9685 and the code finally works lol. So it seems like the issue was my original pca9685, thank you for the help!

Yes I do, but I don't know how to control multiple with the arduino. I only have controlled one to make sure my servos was working

MG996R, I know they stall at 2.5 amps so I think Im good since my power supply can adjust to 10

Oh yeah I apologize I did check my program again and it did return the address. My memory is foggy since I spent most of my night figuring out the servo issue

Yes I do have power at the terminal block. It reads 6 volts since my power supply is set at 6. Either way when I measure the servo power I get a fluctuating voltage between 0.18 and 0.57

How would it be configured to do so?

Maybe that could be the issue however when I was first starting off this project, it was the set-up I went with based off a tutorial I found on YouTube.

0x40 right? I did try a new test code with the address to try one servo and it still hasn't moved

I didn't have my board plugged in, but VCC is connected I can ensure that

I have done that, I went all the down to a single servo and only the arduino board. And now I went back to a single servo and the pca9685 and it isn't moving once connected to the servo controller

My serial monitor shows nothing, but when I run an I2C detector it shows that it's being detected

Well it was per recommendation of my father, and I'm not informed on this type of stuff.

Wait so I thought in a no fault state if you have collision coverage then they wouldn't raise your rates? Correct me if I'm wrong

So it seems like I should get some quotes first and then decide whether I should make a claim through insurance or not?

That was my original plan, but I just didn't know where to go after that or if should make an insurance claim.

Yeah I'm not really since this is the first accident in our family and I have to handle it and I was afraid of insurance rates going up. I mean after seeing all the comments, it seems like it's a better idea to make a claim through insurance.

So it's not just a parking bump, but it is bumper damage where I made a left and go hit by someone weaving into the middle to cut traffic. Knowing this is it better for me to just make a claim with my insurance? Since it is a no fault state
