How control many servos?

Geek-Zard93
Geek-Zard93 over 3 years ago

I have an Idea inspired in the kinetic sculptures and the art installation Reflection made by Adam Cigler, Petr Vacek and Prusalab, my idea is like a clock using many hexagonal mirrors where each hexagonal is pull out by a servo so I would like know the different ways to control many servomotors, as brain I've though to use an ESP32, how should I start I would like to design my own board that brings all elements necessary to this project, could you suggest me how to create a properly PCB?.
