Kitronik Servo:Lite board for :MOVE mini | Dryad Education

Description

The Servo:Lite board for the BBC micro:bit is a simple board that allows you to easily connect and control low power servo motors (servo’s must be capable of operating at 3.3V) using the BBC micro:bit. It is connected to the micro:bit using five bolts. Connect two servos in standard configuration and it can drive up to 3 servos if the addressable ‘ZIP’ LEDs aren\\u2019t needed.\
\
It is powered by 3 AAA batteries and also supplies power to the BBC micro:bit, the board features an On \/ off switch so when it’s not in use the batteries won’t drain.\
