Hello,
I am wondering if a Pico and MicroPython could be used, in place of an Arduino, with the PCA9685 board? Understanding that the power supply issues as separate, and assuming I'm not missing something (which I almost certainly am), could you theoretically program a Pico to control 62 ganged PCA9685 boards?
I'm curious if anyone has used a Pico to control this board before? Thoughts?
Thank you for any input. ;)

Re: PCA9685 & Pico
I don’t see any reason why you would not be able to use a Pi Pico running CircuitPython with the PCA9685. We have clear guides on using it with our Feathers running CircuitPython.

In terms of using MicroPython most likely it will work too as this just a i2c interface and ther are libraries for it.
