## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=PIM697:1` (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/PIM697:1.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)

## Description

Drive chains of serial bus servos from your [Pimoroni Yukon](https://core-electronics.com.au/products/yukon) project.

Supports both half and full duplex UART serial servos, with half duplex exposed via two molex connectors. We have provided support for the Hiwonder LX-16A serial bus servos we stock (coming soon!), though other brands with the same connector and pin out would be hardware compatible.

Also included is an unpopulated 3-4 pin header, letting you solder in the exact connector you need for your style of serial servo.

**Servos are sold separately.**

**Features**- Control UART serial bus servos
- Direct high power output
- 5V level-shifted TX and RX
- Switches for half-duplex operation
- 2 x 3-pin molex connectors
- 1x unpopulated 3/4-pin header for other connectors
- Fully-assembled
- Compatible with Pimoroni Yukon

**Software**- [MicroPython Library Reference](https://github.com/pimoroni/yukon/blob/main/docs/modules/serial_servo.md)

**Notes**- Measurements: 24mm x 20mm x 11.2mm (L x W x H).
- This module uses the RP2040's UART hardware, of which there are two. This means that only two modules can be used simultaneously, and they should be placed in Yukon Slots that do not share the same UART.
- UART 0 is on Yukon Slots 1, 4, and 5
- UART 1 is on Yukon Slots 2, 3, and 6

**About Yukon**Yukon is a high-power modular robotics and engineering platform, built around Raspberry Pi's formidable RP2040 chip. It has slots for attaching interchangeable hardware modules for driving combinations of devices such as motors, servos, steppers, and LED strips, all from one board!

Featuring an XT30 connector, Yukon can be directly powered off 2 to 4 cell LiPo batteries (or any other 5 to 17V source), to deliver up to 15A continuous for your high-power projects. An e-Fuse with switchable output protects the board, along with voltage, current, and temperature sensors that can be monitored by your programs.
