It also features 27 other I\/O expansion points and Power and Ground connections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Robotics Board features 2 Dual H Bridge Motor Driver ICs. These are capable of driving 2 standard motors or 1 stepper motor each, with \u003cstrong\u003efull forward, reverse, and stop control\u003c\/strong\u003e. There are also 8 servo outputs, capable of driving standard and continuous rotation servos. They can all be controlled by the Pico using the I2C protocol, via a 16 channel driver IC. The IO break out provides connections to all the unused pins on the Pico. The 27 available I\/O pins allow other devices, such as sensors or ZIP LEDs, to be added to the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is provided via either a terminal block or servo style connector. The supply is then controlled by an on\/off power switch to the board and there is also a green LED to indicate when the board has power. The board then produces a regulated 3.3V supply which is fed into the 3V and GND connections to power the connected Pico. This removes the need to power the Pico separately. The 3V and GND pins are also broken out on the header, which means external devices can also be powered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo use the robotics board, the Pico should be firmly inserted into the dual row pin socket on the board. Ensure the Pico is inserted with the USB connector at the same end as the power connectors on the robotics board. This will allow access to all of the board functions and each pin broken out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Raspberry Pi Pico is not included\u003c\/strong\u003e - click here if you'd like to buy one. Your Pico will need to have male headers soldered to it with the pins pointing downwards (or grab one of our Pre-soldered Picos).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Raspberry Pi Pico Robotics Board Features\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0176\/3274\/files\/5329_description-3-kitronik-robotics-board-for-raspberry-pi-pico-callout.jpg?v=1619690869\u0026amp;width=700\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact yet feature-packed board designed to sit at the heart of your Raspberry Pi Pico robotics projects\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive 4 motors (or 2 stepper motors), with full forward, reverse, and stop control, and 8 servos\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures 27 other I\/O expansion points and Power and Ground connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI2C communication lines are broken out allowing other I2C compatible devices to be controlled\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn\/off switch and power status LED\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower the board via either a terminal block or servo style connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe 3V and GND pins are also broken out to solder pads, allowing external devices to be powered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode it with MicroPython or via an editor such as the Thonny editor\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eContents\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Kitronik Compact Robotics Board for Raspberry Pi Pico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRaspberry Pi Pico not included.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDimensions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 68mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWidth: 56mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 10mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePCB Thickness: 1.6mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRequires\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Raspberry Pi Pico board (with male headers soldered)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExample MicroPython code - GitHub repository\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDatasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet started with MicroPython on Raspberry Pi Pico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore information on the Pico\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout MicroPython\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbout Python\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Thonny editor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRaspberry Pi Pico Datasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRP2040 Datasheet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kitronik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46039339860028,"sku":"tyu1787258034640","price":12.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0676\/6985\/2220\/files\/robotics-board-for-raspberry-pi-pico_1.jpg?v=1787258043","url":"https:\/\/luxecladstore.shop\/products\/robotics-board-for-raspberry-pi-pico","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
