This driver board gives your micro:bit (not included) the ability to drive two channel DC motors and three servos. It’s a great choice for making a versatile and adaptable micro:bit robot.

It features an integrated 5v regulator (up to 3A) allowing your project to be powered by a battery (6-12V) by connecting it to the VIN terminal block.

The board also features terminal blocks for motor connections, standard servo connections and a power switch.

The onboard motor driver can control two motors at a constant current of 1.2A (3.2A peak).
