The board includes a power switch to turn the servos and BBC micro:bit on or off. The power LED at the top of the board indicates when the board is active. The simple servo control board has mounting lugs on either side. They have been designed for use with elastic bands so that the board can be connected to your project without the need for tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNote:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis kit does not contain a micro:bit.
