Connectors with LEGO-compatible studs for mounting small (SG90) servo motors - plus a LEGO compatible ‘tile’ connector for a PCA9685 PWM controller.

The connectors can be used:

  • either to build simple test beds for developing control code with (say) a Raspberry Pi or a simpler microcontroller like the ESP32, or
  • for building complete LEGO constructs with ‘mechatronic’ moving parts.

More detailed context when used with a Raspberry Pi Maker Kit PCB assembly is available at this link and example ‘mechatronic’ software for a Raspberry Pi can be downloaded from here.

All the components use 1.75mm PLA and a layer height of 0.15mm with print details for each component produced on an i3 Mk3 shown in the table below.
