Stretch out your servo connections with this flexible servo extension cord. It has a 3 pin shrouded "male" connection to plug your servo into and then, 30cm later, a 3 pin female connection. It even keeps the common red/black/white color coding. A great add-on to our 16 channel PWM/Servo driver and goes with all the servos we carry.

Tiny little servo can rotate approximately 180 degrees (90 in each direction), and works just like the standard kinds you're used to but smaller . You can use any servo code, hardware or library to control these servos. Good for beginners who want to make stuff move without building a motor controller with feedback & gear box, especially since it will fit in small places. Of course, its not nearly as strong as a standard servo. Works...

If you bought a servo from us you probably got a bunch of plastic add-ons that you can snap onto the rotating part of the servo. These are called 'servo horns'. For many robotics projects you'll end up drilling or gluing to the horns to attach it to your armatures. But maybe you messed up, or you want to recycle the expensive motor part? This product comes with just the horns!   No servo is included, so you can reuse the motors...

Who doesn't love LEGO and compatible bricks? Nobody! Except when we accidentally step on them. There are soooo many mechanical things one can make with those ubiquitous bricks, plates, gears, pulleys. Say a 13-meter high LEGO London Tower Bridge... But what do you do when you want to add LEGO-compatible bricks and parts to your servo arms and horns? This is the adapter you need! Just push the axle housing end onto the shaft of...

This is just about the cutest, tiniest little micro servo we could find, even smaller than the 9 gram micro servos we love so much.  It can rotate approximately 180 degrees (90 in each direction) and works just like the standard kind you're used to but  much smaller .  You can use any servo code, hardware or library to control these servos. Good for beginners who want to make stuff move without building a motor controller with...

It looks like a servo, it acts like a servo, but it's more than just a servo! We got a factory to custom-make these classic 'standard' sized hobby servos with a twist - the feedback (potentiometer wiper) line is brought out to a fourth white wire. You can read this wire with an analog input such as those on an Arduino, to get the servo's position. That information can be used in robotics to improve stability or even allow...

This servo rotates fully forward or backwards instead of moving to a position. You can use any servo code, hardware or library to control these servos. Good for making simple moving robots. Comes with four different horns, as shown. To control with an Arduino, we suggest connecting the control wire to pin 9 or 10 and using the Servo library included with the Arduino IDE (see here for an example sketch). Position "90" (1.5ms pulse)...

If you bought a servo from us you probably got a bunch of plastic add-ons that you can snap onto the rotating part of the servo. These are called 'servo horns' and the standard ones you'll get are plastic pieces. They're good but often short and not very strong plastic. This Machined Aluminum Servo Arm lets you bring your A-Game to servo projects. It's strong anodized aluminum. Looks great, is easy to install and will last...

Plastic wheel with a cutout specially designed to allow attachment to our larger continuous rotation servo. Makes it easy to get your robot rolling. Each wheel comes with a rubber tire that is quite sturdy. To attach, just remove the horn from your servo, align the splined gear, and use the small screw that came with your servo to attach permanently You'll probably want to get 2 or more.

This tiny  DC Motor in Micro Servo Body is an interesting motor - it's the same size and shape as our micro servo but it isn't a servo. It's more like a DC motor + plastic gear-train in a box. It's not a super powerful motor, it would do well as a little robot wheel. It's also a lot less expensive than a micro servo (continuous or non-continuous) because there is no control board inside. Controlling speed is done by...

The Raspberry Pi is a wonderful little computer, but one thing it isn't very good at is controlling DC Servo Motors - these motors need very specific and repetitive timing pulses to set the position. Instead of asking the Pi Linux kernel to send these signals, pop on this handy HAT! It adds the capability to control 16 Servos with perfect timing. It can also do PWM up to 1.6 KHz with 12 bit precision, all completely free-running. For use...

You want to make a cool Arduino robot, maybe a hexapod walker, or maybe just a piece of art with a lot of moving parts. Or maybe you want to drive a lot of LEDs with precise PWM output. Then you realize that the Arduino has only a few PWM outputs, and maybe those outputs are conflicting with another shield! What now? You could give up OR you could just get our handy PWM and Servo driver shield. It's just like our popular PWM/Servo Breakout...

This high-torque standard servo now comes in a metal-gear flavor, for extra-high torque (10 kg*cm!) and reliability! It can rotate at least 120 degrees (60 in each direction) with a classic 1.5-2.5ms pulse, but if you can extend your pulses it can go up to about 170 degrees - it varies a bit servo-to-servo. You can use any servo code, hardware or library to control these servos. Good for beginners who want to make stuff move without building a...

This fully-assembled pan-tilt kit is the perfect way to give your project full range motion with two micro servos.

Since the motors are plain, every-day analog servos, you can...

Harder, better, faster, stronger!  All the control and customization for your robot project. The Parallax Feedback 360° High Speed Servo has the functionality of a light-duty servo, continuous rotation servo, high-speed servo, and encoder in one convenient package - what a triple threat! Like most continuous rotation servos, this is controlled by a standard 50 Hz pulse-width-modulation signal. But it adds a little extra - a...

This unassembled pan-tilt kit is the perfect way to give your project customized full range motion! The pan-tilt can rotate roughly 180° from side-to-side and can tilt downwards roughly 150° (it may be less depending on the servos you use, of course).   This version comes in kit form without any servos , unlike our fully assembled version so if you have a bunch of servos already, or want to customize with one of...

We use these to help stabilize solar panels on our solar Lipoly charger kit, but they'd also be great with our servo driver boards or on the power connection to our 5V 10A power supply 4700uF capacitance for up to 10V power supplies. 4700uF 10v Electrolytic...

Make inflatables or air-powered projects with this simple air pump. It's great for beginner projects and super easy to use! The pump is basically a DC motor that is powered with ~4.5V and draws about ~500 mA. 5V should be just fine, so you can power it from the same power supply you use for other DC motors or servos. When powered, the pump sucks air in from the side of the plastic casing and pushes it out the tubing port. Reversing the motor...

The OpenMV Cam is like a super powerful microcontroller board with a camera on board that you program in MicroPython. It's easy to run machine visions algorithms on what the OpenMV Cam sees so you can track colors, detect faces, and more in seconds, and thanks to the embedded functionality, you can then control I/O pins in the real-world. You program the OpenMV Cam in high level MicroPython scripts instead of C/C++. This makes it easier...

Make inflatables or air-powered projects with this simple air pump. It's great for beginner projects and super easy to use! The pump is basically a DC motor that is powered with ~4.5V and draws about ~600 mA. 5V should be just fine, so you can power it from the same power supply you use for other DC motors or servos. When powered, the pump sucks air in from the side of the plastic casing and pushes it out the tubing port. Reversing the motor...

The car has 3 extended GPIO ports - two for driving servos and one for, well, any other stuff!...

Sometimes we wonder if robotics engineers ever watch movies. If they did, they'd know that making robots into slaves always ends up in a robot rebellion. Why even go down that path? Here at Adafruit, we believe in making robots our  friends! So if you find yourself wanting a companion, consider the robot. They're fun to program, and you can get creative with decorations. With that in mind, we designed  Crickit  -...
