Description

This expansion board is the ultimate expansion board for Micro:bit. Control servos, DC motors and make your projects portable with the built-in 18650 battery shield.

The Robotbit board has a powerful ability to drive DC motors, stepper motors, servos, and onboard buzzer and RGB LEDs. All available  I/O from microbit is fully accessible and works with most of the most common electronic modules for microcontrollers such as sensors making it an ideal system to be used in controlling robots and automation projects.

The board is also well supported in the popular Microsoft Makecode software, an interactive and easy-to-use software for micro:bit and STEM.

This Robot Bit expansion board is compatible with both V1 and V2 variants of the micro:bit microcontroller.
