Hardware Preparation

• micro:bit x 1
• Servo x 1
• MicroUSB power supply

Software Preparation

• MakeCode Block Editor/ JavaScript Editor / BXY Python Editor

Sample Code

Microsoft MakeCode Editor

Microsoft MakeCode JavaScript Editor

basic.forever(() => {
    basic.pause(1000)
    pins.servoWritePin(AnalogPin.P8, 0)
    basic.pause(1000)
    pins.servoWritePin(AnalogPin.P8, 90)
    basic.pause(1000)
    pins.servoWritePin(AnalogPin.P8, 180)
    basic.pause(1000)
    pins.servoWritePin(AnalogPin.P8, 90)
})

BXY micro:bit Python editor

  #http://docs.dfrobot.com.cn/bxy/examples/servo.html
 from microbit import *
 import Servo
 sv=Servo(pin8)
 while True:
   sv.angle(0)
   sleep(1000)
   sv.angle(90)
   sleep(1000)
   sv.angle(180)
   sleep(1000)
   sv.angle(90)
   sleep(1000)

Result

The Servo turns back and forth from 0-180 degrees every 4 seconds

The mounting screws should be well tightened to ensure a secure connection.
Micro: Mate only supports 3V (3.3V) analog input from Pin 0, 1, 2. The Micro USB Power port on Micro: Mate cannot be used for data transmission.
Components with large power consumption should be connected to Pin 8, 12, 16, with 5V power supply.
