Take your robotics project to the next level with the (i2C) Kitronik 16 Servo Driver Board for the BBC micro:bit.
Capable of controlling 16 servos which are powered directly from the board's power supply. The board can be powered either through the terminal blocks or the on-board header for radio control receiver packs.
The pins from the BBC micro:bit are broken out to pads on the end of the Servo Driver Board, in accordance with the Link Standard for BBC micro:bit accessories.
These pads can either be soldered onto directly, or they are the correct spacing for our PCB pin headers.
Features:
- Input voltage 3V - 5.5V.
- Drive up to 16 servo motors.
- Servos take power directly from the board power supply.
- Standard 0.1" pitch servo connectors.
- Terminal blocks for easy connection of power.
- Includes Edge Connector for the BBC micro:bit to slot into.
- Link Standard compatible.
- Access the other BBC micro:bit pins easily and conveniently.
Dimensions:
- Length: 67.4mm.
- Width: 62mm.
- Height: 16mm.

Requires:
- PSU, battery cage with leads, or radio receiver battery pack.
- 1 x BBC microbit.
- Servos.
- Screwdriver.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Headers
- Rows of metal pins used to plug a module into a breadboard or connect it with jumper wires. Pre-soldered headers make the module easier to use straight away without needing to solder the pins yourself.
- 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.
- PCB
- A printed circuit board is a rigid board with copper tracks that connect electronic parts without loose wires. For this kit, the PCBs also form the airplane shape, so they are both the circuit base and part of the finished model.
- 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.
