The BBC micro:bit Servo:Lite card is a basic card that allows you to connect and operate low power servos (servos must be capable of operating at 3.3V) with the BBC micro:bit. It is attached to the micro:bit by five bolts. If two servos are connected in the typical configuration, it can drive up to three servos if the 'ZIP' addressable LEDs are not used.
It is powered by three AAA batteries and also delivers power to the BBC micro:bit. The board has an on/off switch so the batteries do not deplete while not in use.

It is powered by three AAA batteries and also powers the BBC's micro:bit. The card has an on/off switch so that the batteries do not run down when not in use. The board also has 5 individually controllable RGB ZIP LEDs (NeoPixel compatible), and external ZIP LEDs can be attached if required.
We have created a number of tutorials and guides, which you can find in the resource area below. We have guides that explain how to operate a third servo and how to program the onboard ZIP LEDs.
