Product Overview
5693 is a Kitronik compact all-in-one robotics board for BBC micro:bit. With the Kitronik Compact Robotics Board, the BBC micro:bit can be used to drive 4 motors (or 2 stepper motors) and 8 servos. Coupled with 17 other I/O expansion points, this means the BBC micro:bit can very easily become the core of a whole variety of robotics projects. The board is small on footprint but big on features and connectivity. The Robotics Board features 2 Dual H Bridge Motor Driver ICs (capable of driving 2 standard motors or 1 stepper motor each) and 8 servo outputs (capable of driving standard and continuous rotation servos), all controlled from the BBC micro:bit using the I2C protocol via a 16 channel driver IC. Our custom MakeCode blocks make using I2C easy, even for novice users.
The link header is designed to allow 2.54mm pitch pin header to be used
I2C communication lines are also broken out allowing other I2C compatible devices to be controlled
Board also features an on/off switch and power status LED
Power the board via either a terminal block or servo style connector
3V and GND pins are also broken out on the Link header, allowing external devices to be powered
