MonkMakes Servo Board for micro:bit

The MonkMakes Servo Board for micro:bit board provides a really easy way to attach up to three (3) servomotors to a BBC micro:bit. The board requires a power supply or battery pack to provide 5 or 6V to the servomotors. It includes a voltage regulator that will supply 3V back to the micro:bit, so that you don’t have to power it separately.

Note: the BBC micro:bit and batteries are NOT INCLUDED, and are available separately here.

The board is designed to be connected to the micro:bit with alligator clip leads - you can get a 10 pack here.

Features

• Header pins for three (3) servo motors
• Up to 2A total can be supplied to the servo motors
• Regulated 3V output to power your micro:bit
• Polarity protection for the servomotors
• Electrolytic reservoir capacitor for the servomotors
• 1kΩ series resistors to the control signals to prevent accidental sort-circuits of the micro:bit’s output pins.
• Orange LED to indicate that the Servo for micro:bit board has power.
