Product description: Kitronik Robotics Board - driver for 4 motors and 8 servos - 3-10.8V - for Raspberry Pi Pico - Kitronik 5329
A module manufactured by Kitronik in the form of amotor and servo controller. The Kitronik Robotics Board allows you to controlfourDCmotors (ortwosteppermotors) andeightservos. In addition, it also has27 IO leadswith which you can extend the functionality of theRaspberry Pi Pico. The maximum current consumption per motor is1.5 A, and the maximum continuous current for all connected servos and motors should not exceed12 A. The supply voltage of the components rangesfrom 3 V to 10.8 V. Importantly, the controller allows simultaneous forward, reverse and stopping of the motors - all while maintaining total control. In turn, connected servos can be controlled via anI2Cinterface. The controller is designed to work withRasppberry Pi version Pico.
Product compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico!

Kitronik's module for controlling stepper motors, DC motors and servos.
Motor and servo controller for Raspberry Pi Pico - overview of features
- Compact size and a range of capabilities in one allows you to maximize the functionality of robots based onRaspberry Pi Pico
- Allows control of four DC motors (or two stepper motors) and up to eight servos
- Forward, reverse and stop control functions
- Built-in physical on/off switch and status LED
- Board equipped with convenient screw connectors
- The motor controller from Kitronik also contains 27 additional GPIO connectors that can be used to connect peripheral devices
Description of the leads on the board
- MOTOR1 - MOTOR4 - the first to fourth motor connectors
- SERVOS1 - SERVOS8 - servo connectors first - eighth
- GPOx - IO pinout
The controller has GPIO pins and screw connectors.
For proper operation of the motor controller it is necessary to useRaspberry Pi Pico, which is not part of the kit. It can be purchased separately in our shop.
