+Introduction
+------------
+
+The ``LU9685`` is being sold on a PCB as a 16 channel servo controller by various sellers like AliExpress, E-bay, etc.
+However the chip itself is capable of addressing upto 20 servos.
+
+These "16-channel"-boards resemble the design of many older PCA9685 boards and many sellers claim this ``LU9685`` is a direct replacement for the ``PCA9685``.
+However, these are quite different chips.
+
+The ``LU9685`` is specifically aimed to be used as a servo controller chip as it can only set the PWM pulse per pin between 0.5 ms .. 2.5 ms.
+
+The PWM frequency can be set from 20 Hz - 300 Hz.

+Configuration
+-------------
+
+* **Name**: Required by ESPEasy, must be unique among the list of available devices/tasks.
+
+* **Enabled**: The device can be disabled or enabled. When not enabled the device should not use any resources.
+
+I2C options
+^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+The available I2C settings here depend on the build used.
+
+Device Settings
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+* **PWM Frequency**: The frequency of sending the PWM pulses. Range 20 .. 255 Hz.

+
+  The pulse width from 0.5 msec ... 2.5 msec is interpreted by a servo as an angle from 0 ... 180 degree.
+  Some servos have a range of 270 degree. However the input value for this command is still from 0 ... 180.
+
+  When ``all`` is used as pin, these commands refer to all pins on the addressed LU9685.

+  Examples: 
+
+  * ``lu9685,servo,all,123``

+  ``[<taskname>].lu9685,setrange,<startpin>,<startVarIndex>,<nrPins>``
+
+  startpin: 0 ... 19 or ``all``

+
+  nrPins: 1 ... 19
+  ","
+  **Set a range of pins to output a value as defined in variables.**
+
+  This command will copy the set values of a sequence of variables to a set range of pins.
+
+  If a referred variable was never set, the matching pin will be disabled.
+
+  This command will set all pins in a single I2C call, which limits communication overhead and also results in all pins being set at the same time.
+
+  .. note:: This will only update the pins when calling this command. It is not a continuous synchronisation between variables and pins.
+
+  For example:
+  ``lu9685,setrange,10,1000,2`` Will use the values stored in ``[int#1000]`` and ``[int#1001]`` to set pins ``10`` and ``11``.
