== Motor Driver for Micro:Bit ==
Motor Driver for micro:bit is introduced as the latest edition of a range of SB Components that can interface with up to 2 DC motors and 3 pwm based Servo motors. It works on Motor Power supply: 6V~12V (VIN terminal) an output current of up to 3A with a powerful integrated TB6612FNG Module IC that scales up the performance. VIN terminal can be used for providing the power to the Motor driver for micro:bit.

=== Features ===
<li> Connect up to 2 DC motor and 3 servo motor simultaneously. </li>
<li> TB6612FNG Motor driver IC. </li>
<li> Comes with development resources and material </li>
<li> Onboard standard servo headers </li>
<li> Onboard multi connectors.  </li>

==== Drag and Drop ====
Many people want to learn the process to learn more about micro:bit by getting an understanding of the potential of micro:bit. If one wants to run servo motor and DC motor with the micro:bit motor driver then they can do the following steps.

<li> A user needs to connect the PWM servo motor to the connector(3 pin header) of the servo driver board, labeled as P0, P1, and P2 to connect up to 3 servo motors and up to 2 DC motors on the connector labeled as MA1, MA2 for motor 1 and MB1 and MB2 for motor 2. </li>
<li> Take micro:bit and stack it on the motor driver board’s edge connector.</li>
<li>Connect VIN and ground or the external power supply to the motor driver to provide power to it. </li>
<li> A user needs to switch on the slider switch of the motor driver. </li>

<li> To start a new project development using motor driver board, kindly visit https://makecode.microbit.org/# </li>
<li>Start a new project by clicking on <b>New Project</b> tab, It will Open a Programming and Simulation Interface where you can write code , connect board and program it in 1 click. </li>
