# Hardware Overview

<figure><img src="/files/Y61rL5Ucvq9ukxwONKfK" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The ServoBoard is designed for flexibility. You can inject power via the JST-GH connectors or the solder pads, and route PWM signals from your Flight Controller (FC) directly to the signal pads.

**1. Signal Input (Control)**

The board receives PWM signals from the Flight Controller via a standard JST-GH 5-Pin connector located on the side. This connects directly to your FC's servo rail or PWM breakout.

| **Pin** | **Function** | **Description**                |
| ------- | ------------ | ------------------------------ |
| 1       | GND          | Signal Ground (Common with FC) |
| 2       | S4           | PWM Signal Channel 4           |
| 3       | S3           | PWM Signal Channel 3           |
| 4       | S2           | PWM Signal Channel 2           |
| 5       | S1           | PWM Signal Channel 1           |

**2. Power Input (High Current)**

Power is injected via two parallel JST-GH 4-Pin connectors. These are designed to mate directly with AeroBuck modules.

* Ports: 2x JST-GH 4-Pin (Parallel/Passthrough)
* Usage: Connect one port to the power source (AeroBuck). The second port can be used to daisy-chain power to another ServoBoard or StrobeIT driver.

| **Pin** | **Function** | **Description** |
| ------- | ------------ | --------------- |
| 1       | GND          | Power GND       |
| 2       | GND          | Power GND       |
| 3       | VCC          | Power Positive  |
| 4       | VCC          | Power Positive  |

**3. Servo Outputs**

The board features 4 vertical pin headers (standard 2.54mm pitch) for connecting peripherals.

* Top Row (S): Signal (from JST-GH 5-Pin input)
* Middle Row (+): VCC (from JST-GH 4-Pin power input)
* Bottom Row (-): GND (Common Ground)
