I am working on my final right now and I wanted to build a small animatronic. I want to be sure that the servo driver and the wave shield can work together. I have done a few projects like a light seeking robot and robot arm but I want to use sound in this project. I am looking at the wave shield and how it would connect to the arduino but how would the servo driver fit in as well? Any examples if this has been done before would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: I I just need to control a max of 3 servos, 3 buttons, a LED, and the wave shield.

Re: Wave Shield plus Servo Driver
You can use either the 16 channel PWM/Servo driver or the 16 channel PWM Servo Shield. These interface via i2c and will have no conflicts with the WaveShield.

If you do use the shield version, be sure to order a set of stacking headers and install them on the Wave Shield, so that you can stack the PWM/Servo shield on top.
Personally, I would recommend using the driver board version to keep all the servo noise away from the analog audio circuitry.
