Build the hexapod/robot arm/other articulated contraption of your dreams with this all-in-one RP2040 powered servo controller with current measurement, sensor headers, and RGB LEDs.

Servo 2040 is a standalone servo controller for making things with lots of moving parts. It has pre-soldered pin headers for plugging in up to 18 servos - enough for the leggiest of hexapod walkers or plenty of degrees of freedom for your robotic arms, legs, or tentacles. Servos can be pretty power-hungry, especially the chonky ones, so the folks at Pimoroni added some neat current monitoring functions so you can keep an eye on power consumption.

There are six addressable WS281x RGB LEDs (AKA NeoPixels!) for visual feedback and status reports, plus pin headers to connect up to six analog sensors - useful for sensing where the ground is, especially if you're about to crash into a wall, or how much pressure The Claw is exerting on your hapless test subject. We've also popped a QT connector on there, to make it super easy to add a STEMMA QT or Qwiic breakout or two.

Servo 2040 is supported by a well-documented C++/MicroPython servo library with lots of examples to show you how to use the individual features (and everything together).
