Kitronik Robotics Shield for Raspberry Pi Pico

Description

Make the Raspberry Pi Pico the core of your new robotics project with the Kitronik Compact Robotics Board for Raspberry Pi Pico.

This compact yet feature-packed board enables the Raspberry Pi Pico (connected via pin header) to drive 4 motors (or 2 stepper motors) and 8 servos. It also provides 27 other I/O expansion points and power and ground connections, ideal for adding sensors or LEDs. The board features 2 Dual H Bridge Motor Driver ICs capable of full forward, reverse, and stop control, and 8 servo outputs controlled by the Pico using the I2C protocol via a 16-channel driver IC.

Power can be supplied via a terminal block or servo-style connector, controlled by an on/off power switch and indicated by a green power LED. The board regulates 3.3V power to the Pico and breaks out 3V and GND pins for external devices.

Important: Wireless functionality on the Pico W is not recommended due to current draw limitations.
