This bundle adds motor, servo and sensor expansion to the UNIHIKER M10 single-board computer, using the included Type-C to HY2.0-4P communication cable to bridge the M10 to the expansion board.
The board includes an integrated 18650 battery holder so your controller, motors and sensors can run from a rechargeable battery instead of a tethered power source. It also supports charging via USB Type-C, MicroUSB or a PH2.0 solar input for outdoor and autonomous builds.
A LEGO-compatible base on the underside lets the board snap into compatible beams and plates without tape or glue, making it well suited to robotics projects such as rovers, robotic arms, forklifts and interactive LEGO-style builds.
The expansion board is tailored for UNIHIKER M10 with the supplied cable, while the board itself also supports direct plug-in use with micro:bit V1/V2 and UNIHIKER K10. The bundle includes the expansion board and the Type-C to HY2.0-4P communication cable for UNIHIKER M10.
Features:
- UNIHIKER M10 expansion: Enables the UNIHIKER M10 to drive motors, servos and sensors via the included communication cable.
- Cable-free mobility: Integrated rechargeable 18650 battery holder can power the UNIHIKER M10, motors and sensors simultaneously.
- Solar charging support: PH2.0 solar charging port supports autonomous outdoor projects.
- LEGO-compatible mounting: Bottom base snaps onto standard LEGO-compatible beams and plates.
- Cross-compatible board: Board supports micro:bit V1/V2 and UNIHIKER K10 via direct plug-in.
- Motor and servo control: Provides ports for DC motors and servos for robotics builds.
- Gravity sensor expansion: Includes digital/analogue IO and I2C expansion for sensors, AI cameras and OLEDs.
- Included cable: Type-C to HY2.0-4P communication cable is included for UNIHIKER M10 connection.

- Battery: Slot for 1x 3.7V 18650 Lithium Battery (User Replaceable)
- Charging: USB Type-C, MicroUSB, or Solar (PH2.0)
- Status: Onboard Power & Charging Indicator LEDs
- Motors: 4x DC Motor Ports (PH2.0)
- Servos: 4x Servo Ports (PH2.0)
- Sensors: 2x Digital/Analog IO (Gravity Standard)
- I2C: 1x 3.3V I2C + 1x 5V I2C (Great for AI Cameras/OLEDs)
- LEGO-Compatible Base: Standard spacing holes
- Onboard RGB: 4x Programmable LEDs
- Dimensions: 62mm x 88mm (Compact credit-card size footprint)
Use it for wireless mobile robots, sensor-reactive LEGO-style models, AI camera projects with HUSKYLENS, or solar-assisted environmental monitors.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Gravity
- Gravity is DFRobot’s plug-in connector system for sensors, motors and modules, using standard cables to reduce loose jumper wiring. It matters because Gravity-compatible parts can connect directly to these ports, while non-Gravity parts may need adapters or manual wiring.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
- servo
- A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
- single-board computer
- A complete computer built onto one circuit board, usually including the processor, memory, ports, and connectors. This matters because accessories like heatsinks must match the board’s layout and mounting holes to fit properly.
- UNIHIKER
- UNIHIKER is a small programmable computer board used in education and maker projects, often connected to external sensors and modules. Compatibility matters because the cable must match the board’s connector type and pin layout.
- USB Type-C
- A reversible USB connector used for power and data on many modern devices. On this kit it indicates an alternate 5V power input, which may be useful for setup or charging without the solar panel.
