Hi i have a microbit V2 and have a project containing 3 maybe 4 continuous rotating servo motors (These) I’ve sent a email to microbit and they suggested to use a servo controller. This is my first time using servos i have no understanding of which controller i should use and how to program it in makecode(i know that you have to use an external power supply because the microbit can only put out 3v).So to summarise, what controller should, use and how do i program it in makecode?
You may not need a controller, as the micro:bit should be powerful enough to control the servos directly without the need for a controller. Although you may want to use one anyways, as it simplifies wiring. There are plenty of servo extensions for the micro:bit:
Some of them are designed to be used with a specific servo controller, others can control them directly. You will still need a separate power source, as they can use a lot more power that can be provided directly from the micro:bit.
The first extension looks promising, as clicking “Learn More” leads to some thorough documentation.
