Elevate your robotics project to new heights with the (i2C) Kitronik 16 Servo Driver Board, an ideal accessory for the BBC micro:bit. This board can directly control 16 servos, drawing power straight from its own power supply. You can power the board via terminal blocks or the on - board header for radio control receiver packs. The pins from the BBC micro:bit are extended to pads at the end of the Servo Driver Board, following the Link Standard for BBC micro:bit accessories. These pads can be directly soldered or are perfectly spaced for our PCB pin headers. Key features include an input voltage range of 3V - 5.5V, the ability to drive up to 16 servo motors, standard 0.1' pitch servo connectors, terminal blocks for easy power connection, an edge connector for the BBC micro:bit, Link Standard compatibility, and convenient access to other BBC micro:bit pins. The board measures 67.4mm in length, 62mm in width, and 16mm in height. You'll need a PSU, battery cage with leads, or radio receiver battery pack, 1 x BBC microbit, servos, and a screwdriver. There's also a datasheet available for more information.
Using the Kitronik 16 Servo Driver Board is easy. First, make sure you have all the required items: a power supply like a PSU, battery cage with leads, or radio receiver battery pack, a BBC micro:bit, servos, and a screwdriver. Connect the power supply to the board using the terminal blocks or the on - board header. Then, slot your BBC micro:bit into the edge connector. Next, connect your servos to the board using the standard 0.1' pitch servo connectors. When handling the board, be careful not to damage the pads at the end. Also, make sure the input voltage is within the 3V - 5.5V range. For maintenance, keep the board clean and dry. If you're not using it for a long time, store it in a safe place. Refer to the datasheet.pdf for more detailed information if you run into any issues.
