The Pololu Micro Maestro 6-Channel USB Servo Controller (Partial Kit) is a compact and versatile device designed to enhance the performance of serial servo controllers. It features a native USB interface and internal scripting control, making it suitable for high-performance servo control and general I/O applications. This partial kit version includes header pins that are not soldered, allowing for customization in installation.

This servo controller supports three control methods: USB for direct computer connection, TTL serial for embedded systems, and internal scripting for standalone applications. The channels can be configured as servo outputs, digital outputs, or analog inputs, providing flexibility for various applications such as robotics and animatronics. The device offers precise servo pulse control with minimal jitter, ensuring smooth and seamless movements.

A free configuration and control program is available for Windows and Linux, facilitating easy configuration and testing over USB. The Micro Maestro’s internal script memory allows for the storage and playback of servo positions without the need for an external controller. Additionally, the channels can be used to read sensors and control peripherals directly from a PC, enabling the creation of self-contained animatronic displays that respond to external stimuli.

The Micro Maestro can be daisy-chained with other Pololu controllers on a single serial line, and it can function as a general-purpose USB-to-TTL serial adapter. Its compact size and light weight make it ideal for applications where space is limited.
