This board allows up to 16 Remote Control (RC) servos to be driven simultaneously. ## Pricing - **Price:** $22.80 (inc GST) — $20.73 AUD, exc GST - **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $19.90 (exc GST) · 25+ $19.27 (exc GST) ## Availability & dispatch - In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney). - We can dispatch 5 today, and up to 300 more in 8–10 days. ## How to buy - **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE07359:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE07359:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Take your robotics project to the next level with the Kitronik compact 16 servo driver board for the [BBC micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html). This board allows up to 16 Remote Control (RC) servos to be driven simultaneously. It is based on the PCA9865 driver IC. The board includes an integrated Edge Connector for the BBC micro:bit . Expansion Pads allow the connection of this board with other compatible micro:bit accessory boards using the “[Link](https://kitronik.co.uk/blogs/resources/link-accessory-board-standard-bbc-microbit-accessories)” pluggable pin header. Power is provided via either a terminal block or servo style connector. The supply is then controlled by an on/off power switch to the board. There is also a green LED to indicate when the board is turned on. The board then produces a regulated 3.3V supply which is fed into the 3V and GND connections to power the connected BBC micro:bit. This removes the need to power the BBC micro:bit separately. The 3V and GND pins are also broken out on the Link header, which means external devices can also be powered. Kitronik has produced a set of custom blocks for the [MakeCode](https://makecode.microbit.org/) editor to simplify using the Compact 16 servo control board for BBC micro:bit. To add them to the editor, select the cog icon in the top right of the editor. Then, select Extensions from the drop-down menu and in the search bar type and enter Kitronik. Pick the Kitronik I2C-16-servo tile from the list and the new blocks will be added to the menu in the editor. **Features:** - Compatible with V1 and [V2](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html) micro:bits - Drive up to 16 servo motors. - Servos take power directly from the board power supply. - Standard 0.1" pitch servo connectors. - Link Standard compatible. - This board also features an on/off switch and power status LED. - Includes fitted Edge Connector for the BBC micro:bit to slot into. - Power the board via either a terminal block or servo style connector. - The 3V and GND pins are also broken out on the Link header, allowing external devices to be powered. - Code with the Microsoft MakeCode editor with custom blocks by Kitronik or with Python. **Contents:** - 1 x Compact 16 Servo Driver Board for the BBC micro:bit. **Dimensions:** - Length: 68mm. - Width: 46.5mm. - Height: 10.6mm. - PCB Thickness: 1.6mm. **Requires:** - A [micro:bit.](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-v2-australia.html) - [USB Cable.](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-usb-cable.html) - [Power Supply.](https://core-electronics.com.au/4xaa-battery-holder-square.html) - The following part is also required; - [Servos](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=servos) **Resources:** - [Datasheet](https://core-electronics.com.au/attachments/localcontent/5694-kitronik-compact-16-servo-driver-board-for-microbit-datasheet_867723ff939.pdf) - Demo Code for programming in MicroPython is [available from GitHub](https://github.com/KitronikLtd/micropython-microbit-kitronik-16-servo-board). ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/5/6/5694_large-compact-16-servo-driver-board-microbit_800x_1.jpg)
