Adding a Capacitor to the thru-hole capacitor slot

We have a spot on the PCB for soldering in an electrolytic capacitor. Based on your usage, you may or may not need a capacitor. If you are driving a lot of servos from a power supply that dips a lot when the servos move, n * 100uF where n is the number of servos is a good place to start - eg 470uF or more for 5 servos. Since its so dependent on servo current draw, the torque on each motor, and what power supply, there is no "one magic capacitor value" we can suggest which is why we don't include a capacitor in the kit.

Adding/Stacking Servo Feathers - Using different i2c addresses

If you need more Servos, you can stack the FeatherWings (see Stacking Assembly) - each new Wing will give you 8 more Servos

You'll need to solder in stacking Feather headers so you can plug more Wings on top!

You'll also need to use right-angle 3x4 headers on the Servo Wings so that the servos connect off the ends rather than straight up

Each I2C device connected to your Feather must be assigned a unique address. This is done with the address jumpers on the bottom of the board. The I2C base address for each board is 0x40. The binary address that you program with the address jumpers is added to the base I2C address.

To program the address offset, use a drop of solder to bridge the corresponding address jumper for each binary '1' in the address.

Board 0: Address = 0x40 Offset = binary 00000 (no jumpers required)
Board 1: Address = 0x41 Offset = binary 00001 (bridge A0)
Board 2: Address = 0x42 Offset = binary 00010 (bridge A1)
Board 3: Address = 0x43 Offset = binary 00011 (bridge A0 & A1)
Board 4: Address = 0x44 Offset = binary 00100 (bridge A2)
etc.

See how we do this for the Arduino Shield vesion of this board, its nearly identical:
