Controlling multiple servos

[Youkai]

I'm working on a project where I anticipate needing to control 6 servos, in addition to a number of buttons, and some RGB LED's. My plan for the project is to use the smallest board with enough IO pins. Maybe a Sparkfun Pro Micro if that will work. I've heard that controlling servos from Arduino can be janky due to interrupts/timing/whatever.

So I'm wondering if I need to use a servo controller board similar to Pimoroni Servo 2040. If so does anybody have recommendations for boards? I think 6 is probably the number I'll need but it definitely won't go above 8 or 10 servos.

If I use a servo board in addition to my main micro-controller, I assume it's possible to send commands from the MC to the Servo board, correct? I.e. trigger moves of the servos from button presses detected on the MC.

You can try this board: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/32710084048.html

Have such a board, but have not tried it myself yet. The same chip is used by Adafruit: https://www.adafruit.com/product/815 so plenty examples will be available.
