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. Programming with MakeCode Kitronik has developed custom MakeCode blocks specifically for the Simple Servo Board. To add them: Open MakeCode and start a new project. Under the “Advanced” section, click on “Extensions.” In the search bar, type “Simple Servo.” Once the extension appears, click on it to add it to your project. Programming with MicroPython Kitronik also provides example code for setting up and controlling the servos using MicroPython. A dedicated class is available on their GitHub page. For further guidance, please refer to the product datasheet. Features Add electronically controlled movement to your micro:bit projects. Control 180 and 360 servos from a BBC micro:bit.
