“Excellent piece of kit, I got this for a robotics project and it does not disappoint. It delivers on performance and speed, I have coupled it with a PCA9685 so that I can control multiple servos. Very easy learning curve.”

“Another high value, low cost and very versatile board from Cytron in Malaysia, with excellent build quality. It is packed with features and easy to control with the preloaded version of CircuitPython, including the library modules need to run the board. (Adafruit CircuitPython 6.2.0 on 2021-04-05; Raspberry Pi Pico with rp2040 on mine.) Save and print out the pre-loaded code.py example program to see how to drive it. I connected mine to a 4 x AA battery pack, a DC motor chassis (Mini 3-Layer Round Robot Chassis Kit - 2WD with DC Motors) and a FS90MG micro servo and the board quickly had the wheels turning, servo moving, music playing, Neopixels and LEDs flashing as I pressed the buttons. I’m planning to control the finished robot with an Infra-Red zapper. There are plenty of pins left over for connections via the 7 Grove ports and 4 supplied Grove to Female cables. A reset button and two user buttons are included on the board together with four ‘motor test’ buttons. Fantastic value, fun to use and beautifully built – I recommend it.”
