These are capable of driving 2 standard motors or 1 stepper motor each, with full forward, reverse, and stop control. There are also 8 servo outputs, capable of driving standard and continuous rotation servos. They can all be controlled by the Pico using the I2C protocol, via a 16-channel driver IC. The IO break-out provides connections to all the unused pins on the Pico. The 27 available I\/O pins allow other devices, such as sensors or ZIP LEDs, to be added to the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePower is provided via either a terminal block or servo-style connector. The supply is then controlled by an on\/off power switch to the board and there is also a green LED to indicate when the board has power. The board then produces a regulated 3.3V supply which is fed into the 3V and GND connections to power the connected Pico. This removes the need to power the Pico separately. The 3V and GND pins are also broken out on the header, which means external devices can also be powered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo use the robotics board, the Pico should be firmly inserted into the dual row pin socket on the board. Ensure the Pico is inserted with the USB connector at the same end as the power connectors on the robotics board. This will allow access to all of the board functions and each pin broken out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0254\/1191\/1743\/files\/5329_description-3-kitronik-robotics-board-for-raspberry-pi-pico-callout-3_1.jpg?v=1619691350\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDue to the additional current draw of a Pico W's wireless features it is not recommended to use the\u003cspan\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003ewireless functionality with this board.
