Bring your projects to life with electronically controlled motion using the Kitronik Simple Servos Starter Pack for the BBC micro:bit. This kit allows you to easily control both 180° and 360° servos with your micro:bit.
To help you get started and make the most of your kit, we’ve created four fun project guides to spark your creativity. These include step-by-step instructions for building a clapometer, a carousel, a Viking swing boat, and an RC car—just a few examples of what’s possible with this kit. All guides are available online, with links provided in the Resources section below.
The Simple Servo Control Board provides an easy-to-use interface between the BBC micro:bit and up to three servos. It includes an edge connector for quick micro:bit installation, along with dedicated servo pin headers. Additionally, six croc-clip-friendly pads allow you to connect extra devices with ease.
