Servos are small motors that you can control with your micro. Which type do you have?

• A continuous rotation servo spins around and around, like a wheel. You can control its speed and direction.

• A positional servo moves to a set angle within a limited range, often 0° to 180°. You can use it to move parts back and forth.

• A servo controller helps power your servo and connects it to your microbit, allowing you to control its movement.

A servo can be connected directly to your Microbit. Make sure each wire is connected to the correct pin.

Tip: If your servo isn’t working, check the connections. A faulty wire or alligator clip could be the cause—test it or try a replacement.
