Kitronik BBC Micro:bit Add-on Compact 16 Servo Driver Board Model 5694

Kitronik 5694 BBC Micro:bit Add-on Compact 16 Servo Driver Board is a specialized accessory designed for use with the BBC micro:bit development platform. This driver board allows the connection and simultaneous control of up to 16 Remote Control (RC) servos, making it ideal for robotics and STEM education projects.

The board utilizes the PCA9865 driver IC, known for efficient and precise servo management. An integrated Edge Connector links directly to the BBC micro:bit, while expansion pads enable seamless connectivity with other compatible micro:bit accessory boards using a "Link" pluggable pin header. Power can be provided through either a terminal block or a servo-style connector, with an onboard power switch facilitating easy control. A green indicator LED clearly shows when the board is powered on.

This board provides a regulated 3.3V output that powers the BBC micro:bit through the 3V and GND connections on the board itself, removing the requirement to power the micro:bit separately. The 3V and GND pins are also accessible via the Link header, supporting powering of external devices and sensors.

The compact and efficient design makes this board suitable for various uses including industrial prototyping, educational robotics, STEM labs, and hobbyist projects involving multiple servo control. Its ability to manage multiple servos simultaneously makes it valuable for construction of robotic arms, mobile robots, animatronic systems, and other servo-driven mechanisms.

Supports up to 16 Remote Control servos simultaneously. Compact design suited for integration with micro:bit educational kits. Onboard power management with power switch and LED status indicator. Powered BBC micro:bit from the board’s regulated 3.3V supply.

Expansion pads enable chaining with other compatible accessory boards. Ideal for educational, industrial prototyping, and robotics applications. Includes integrated Edge Connector for direct micro:bit interface.
