    MonkMakes Servo for the BBC micro:bit

    Manufacturer: Monk Makes
    The MonkMakes Servo for microbit board provides a really easy way to attach up to three servomotors to a BBC micro:bit. The board requires a power supply or battery pack to provide 5 or 6V to the servomotors. It includes a voltage regulator that will supply 3V back to the micro:bit, so that you don’t have to power it separately.

    The board has been designed to allow for alligator/crocodile connections to the microbit. This means that there is no need for mechanical assembly or soldering. You can write code for the attached microbit using either the MakeCode editor or MicroPython (linked in the resources selection below).

    Features:
  • Allows you to control up to 3 servos with the microbit.
  • When powered the board will supply power to the servos and microbit.
  • Connect it to the microbit with alligator/crocodile clips.
  • Use the MakeCode blocks/javascript or MicroPython editors .

    Kitronik Clippable Servo

    KI 25105
    Kitronik's new clippable servo has had the standard pin header replaced with super useful crocodile clips. This allows it to be used in projects that feature other clippable connection points, such as projects utilising the Kitronik Klip Motor Driver.

    The 180 degree rotation servo is based on the Feetech FS90MG-CL and features metal gears, which are more reliable and hard-wearing than their plastic counterparts. The servo is rated to operate between 4.8V - 6V, which gives output Torque of between 1.8kg - 2.2kg respectively. If the clippable servo is being used in micro:bit projects, a separate power supply is required. If you are using the Kitronik Klip Motor Driver, the power can be taken directly from the Klip motor driver board.

    The servo can rotate approx. 180 degrees, or approx. 90 in each direction, and it can be driven with any standard 180 degree servo code/libraries. It can be coded using the MakeCode or Python editors which makes it ideal for novice or expert level microbit projects.

    The servos are supplied with four horns and the associated fixings which should allow you to slot these servos into your projects with relative ease and without the need to make custom horns.

    Note: This servo requires a separate power supply from the controlling micro:bit. Attempting to power this servo directly from the micro:bit is likely to cause permanent damage to the micro:bit.

    Features:
  • The clippable servo has had the standard pin header replaced with super useful crocodile clips.
  • Small and compact yet high power output, 1.8kg of Torque at 4.8V and 2.2kg at 6V.
  • Metal gears for strength and durability.
  • It can be coded using the MakeCode or Python editors
  • Suitable for RC models and Robotics projects.
  • 180 degrees of rotation, 90 in each direction.
  • Operating Voltage of 4.8V - 6V.
  • It can be used with Kitronik clippable micro:bit accessories, such as the Kitronik Klip Motor Driver.

  • Contents:
  • 1 x Kitronik Clippable Servo with 4 horns and fixings.

  • Dimensions:
  • For Servo dimensions, please see the Technical Drawing.
  • Lead Length: 250mm.
  • Clip Length: 34mm.

    ElecFreaks Servo 180degree EF92A for micro:bit

    EF09082
    This is a micro servo It only weights 20g and provides a 1.6kg.com torque. It will comes with a 3-pin control cable and mounting hardware.

    Almost all the micro bit servo in the market have to be driven by 5V, but the normal working voltage for micro:bit is 3V. It is embarrassing to drive a 5V servo with a micro:bit. Thus, we have customized these two servos that can be driven by two batteries with the lowest working voltage at 2.7V. It is the first batch of the micro bit servo designed for the micro:bit in the market.

    The high linearity makes its control more accurate. It is designed for micro:bit with high-linearity, which gives you a smooth feel of control.

    Low working voltage, compatible to 3V-5.5V(With 2.7V at least), designed for micro:bit.

    Kitronik Pre-Built Edge Connector Breakout Board for the BBC micro:bit

    KI 5601B
    Looking to do more with your BBC micro:bit? Unlock its potential with this ‘pre-built’ version of the Edge Connector Breakout Board! This breakout board has been designed to offer an easy way to connect additional circuits and hardware to the pins on the edge of the BBC micro:bit. It provides access to all of the BBC micro:bit processor pins allowing a lot of extra functionality to be added. The datasheet (below) includes a helpful diagram explaining the function of every pin on the BBC micro:bit.

    This Edge Connector Breakout Board for the BBC micro:bit gives access to all of the important pins on the bottom edge of the BBC micro:bit. 21 pins are broken out in total; providing additional I/O lines, direct access to buttons A and B, the LED matrix outputs and the I2C bus. Please refer to the datasheet below for more details.

    The BBC micro:bit pins are broken out to a row of pin headers. These provide an easy way of connecting circuits using jumper wires. The SCL and SDA pins are separated at the edge of the board (solder pads) providing easy identification. The PCB includes a prototyping area with 3V, 0V and unconnected rows that can be soldered to. This allows the easy connection of switches, sensors and any pull-up or pull-down resistors etc. as required.
