SparkFun moto:bit

The SparkFun moto:bit is a fully loaded "carrier" board for the micro:bit that, when combined with the micro:bit, provides you with a fully functional robotics platform. The moto:bit offers a simple, beginner-friendly robotics controller capable of operating a basic robotics chassis. Onboard each moto:bit are multiple I/O pins capable of hooking up servos, sensors and other circuits. At the flip of the switch you can get your micro:bit moving!

PLEASE NOTE the maximum input voltage is not 17V, but 11V. The labeling on the board is INCORRECT. Sparkfun will update future boards. If in doubt, check the sparkfun product page.

The moto:bit connects to the micro:bit via an edge connector at the top of the board, making setup easy. This creates a handy way to swap out micro:bits for programming, while still providing reliable connections to all of the different pins on the micro:bit. We have also included a basic barrel jack on the moto:bit that is capable of providing power to anything you connect to the carrier board.

Note: The SparkFun moto:bit does NOT include a micro:bit board. The micro:bit will need to be purchased separately.

Features:

Edge connector for easy use with the micro:bit
Full H-Bridge for control of two motors

I2C port for extending functionality
Power and battery management onboard for the micro:bit
