Servo:Bit - 16-way multi-servo controller for the micro:bit

by 4tronix

This little board allows you to control and power up to 16 servos at the same time.

The servo power connections (typically 5V) can be made through the USB connector OR the 2-pin screw terminal OR by using the 2-pin male header

Search for "ServoBit" in Microsoft Makecode for the special extension that makes this really easy to use

The extension even allows you to control the speed of servo rotation to make your models move extra smoothly!
