Hi i have a microbit V2 and have a project containing 3 maybe 4 continuous rotating servo motors ([These](https://www.amazon.co.uk/Degree-Continuous-Rotating-DS04-NFC-Rotation/dp/B08G44KBPK/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?crid=1WJPLGDNKEMWB&keywords=continuous+rotating+servo+motor&qid=1689056663&sprefix=continuatos+rotati+gservo+motor%2Caps%2C114&sr=8-8)) 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.
