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 full forward, reverse, and stop control. 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\u003ch2\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA compact yet feature-packed board designed to sit at the heart of your Raspberry Pi Pico robotics projects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe board can drive 4 motors (or 2 stepper motors) and 8 servos, with full forward, reverse, and stop control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt also features 27 other I\/O expansion points and Power and Ground connections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe I2C communication lines are also broken out allowing other I2C compatible devices to be controlled.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis board also features an on\/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 on the Link header, allowing external devices to be powered.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode it with \u003ca hre=\"https:\/\/micropython.org\/unicorn\/\"\u003eMicroPython\u003c\/a\u003e or via an editor such as \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/Thonny.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003ethe Thonny editor\u003c\/a\u003e.\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\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\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-ch\/products\/raspberry-pi-pico?variant=32402092326995\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eA Raspberry Pi Pico board.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eResources:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/KitronikLtd\/Kitronik-Pico-Robotics-Board-MicroPython\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eExample MicroPython code -
