Somewhere I recall seeing a reference to the Arduino Nano supporting up to 10 servos, yet the limit seems to be 8. Does anyone have a workaround for this? I'm trying to set up a board to handle 10 servo driven steam gauges and 8 caution and warning LED's.
I'd really hate to have to install another Nano just to drive two servos and nothing else...
#10 Servos?

Device limits are here: https://docs.mobiflight.com/boards/recommended/arduino-nano/. If you need more than the board can support then add another Nano (or other board) to handle it.
It is very common to have panels use more than one board.

One mega board can handle upto 12 servos.

Yeah, I'll probably end up adding a board, just seems silly for two servos. (right now using a Mega Pro for everthing but engine gauges and C&W lights.)

Split the load between the two boards. Never hurt to have some spare pins in case of failure.

Yeah, I ended up needing to move the mag compass off the Mega anyway so I feel more justified in adding another Nano.
