Multi Function Expansion Board for UNIHIKER K10 and micro:bit (Power & Motion)

The Multi-function Expansion Board for UNIHIKER offers a comprehensive platform to enhance UNIHIKER K10 projects. This compact board eliminates common project limitations by incorporating a powerful motor driver, an efficient power management system, and extensive I/O expansion. It features a 4-channel DC motor driver and six servo ports, all designed to power intricate creations like mobile robots and interactive prototypes with exceptional control and mobility.

As the core of robotics projects, the expansion board integrates essential components like a 4-channel DC motor driver and six servo interfaces. These ports work with an independent power supply from the onboard 18650 battery holder, ensuring steady performance under high load conditions. The inclusion of a charging and discharging circuit, alongside a multi-level power indicator, turns projects into portable and adaptable solutions that excel in real-world scenarios.

This board effectively addresses power supply challenges. With an integrated 18650 battery holder, it removes the need for cumbersome cables and external power sources. The onboard battery indicator guarantees secure power management and simplified charging, significantly enhancing the portability of your projects.

With a rich array of I/O and peripheral expansion options, this board transcends the limitations of mainboards. Through the UNIHIKER's native edge connector, it extends functionality with six multi-function I/O pins, multiple I2C ports, and a dedicated 5V port for devices like ultrasonic sensors. Integrated peripherals such as programmable RGB LEDs and an IR transmitter/receiver provide inbuilt capabilities for status indication and remote control, all without additional modules.

Designed with creativity and rapid prototyping in mind, the expansion shield incorporates M3 mounting holes compatible with LEGO Technic dimensions. This feature offers effortless integration into various mechanical structures and robotics chassis, enabling sophisticated and custom-built devices. The bridge between electronics and mechanical construction enhances modularity and imaginative development.

The user-friendly design emphasizes clarity and durability, with status indicators that provide real-time information on power, charging levels, and motor operations, simplifying the debugging process. Clearly labeled and color-coded interfaces support intuitive connections. An included acrylic base plate prevents short circuits, while ESD protection across all I/O pins ensures robust reliability during experimentation and development.
