“Ok. Seems like a great item, however there should be some included code to get the thing running. If the developers made it more user friendly then it would be amazing, It's booted, with the uf2, I'm using circuit python, I can't even get one servo running. PLEASE include some code for absolute beginners, and what the hell is cutting the trace? How?? Include detailed instructions for novices! We're not all tech engineers and electronic university students programmers!”
Ahoy Simon!
Sorry to hear you've had trouble getting started here. Our examples are written in MicroPython, not CircuitPython which I suspect may be why you've been struggling! You can download our custom MicroPython build here: https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/releases - you'll need the 'pico' .uf2 for Servo 2040. Our Servo 2040 examples can be find here: https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/tree/main/micropython/examples/servo2040
You might find our Getting Started with Raspberry Pi Pico guide helpful if you're new to working with Pico/RP2040 boards: https://learn.pimoroni.com/article/getting-started-with-pico
Hope that helps - feel free to drop us a line at support@pimoroni.com if you're still stuck :)
“Works like a charm and out of the box. 3D model print fits too. Test shows some old puppet drives.
Fast delivery, pretty good library. Demo prog made in less then one hour install included.
Maybe an idea to avoid the cupper cut on lower side. Add a screw terminal for internal supply and bridge the voltage to ext. supply as default.”
“The delivery was quite fast and the controller does what it is supposed to do, the Pimoroni 2040 Servo Controller is also so much cheaper, more well build and functional than the setup i had before”
Ahoy Roger!
We don't seem to have received any text along with this photo but please feel free to drop us an email at support@pimoroni.com if you need help. Is it the solder joint on the left hand pin of the power connector that you're having trouble with?
