Simple and uncluttered control of up to 3 servos with the Kitronik :CREATE Simple Servo Control Board for BBC micro:bit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Simple Servo Control Board offers a simple interface between the BBC micro:bit and up to 3 servos. The board features an edge connector for the micro:bit to slot into and in addition to the servo pin header connections, there are also 6 croc-clippable pads for adding additional devices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe servo pin header connections are on a 0.1 inch (2.54mm) pitch and are labelled on the board as; Power, Ground and Signal. The 6 croc-clippable pads, at the bottom of the board, break out the P0, P1, P2 pins from the micro:bit. There are also pads for 3.3V and GND, with the final pad (Switch A) which allows for connecting an external switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"text-align: center\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/5673_animated-kitronik-create-simple-servo-controlboard-ezgif.com-optimize.gif\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003cfigcaption\u003e\u003cem\u003eA simple animatronics example with a servo being controlled by a micro:bit via the simple servo control board.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board is powered from 3x AA batteries (with attached battery cage) which powers the servo’s and is regulated to the required voltage to power a BBC micro:bit.
