👍👍👍 Recommendation Buy buy buy! This is a great board, packed full of features including 2 micro metal motor encoder connectors, speaker output, and built-in Raspberry Pi Pico W providing wireless access. 👍👍👍 Recommendation Inventor 2040 W Features Perfect for robotics projects Pros Cons Inventor 2040 W The Inventor 2040 W is the new board from Pimoroni. It has a host of features and connector making it easy to turn your ideas into real world contraptions. Features Here are a list of the features: Raspberry Pi Pico W Aboard Powered and programmable by USB micro-B 2.4GHz wireless 2 JST-SH connectors (6 pin) for attaching motors Dual H-Bridge motor driver (DRV8833) Per motor current limiting (0.5A) Per motor direction indicator LEDs 2 pin (Picoblade-compatible) connector for attaching speaker JST-PH (2 pin) connector for attaching battery (input voltage 2.5V - 5.5V*) 6 sets of header pins for connecting 3 pin hobby servos 6 sets of header pins for GPIO (3 of which are ADC capable) 12 x addressable RGB LEDs/Neopixels User button Reset button (built in Captain Resetti!) 2 x Qw/ST connectors for attaching breakouts Unpopulated headers for adding a Breakout Garden slot Fully assembled No soldering required (unless you want to add the Breakout Garden slot). Perfect for robotics projects This board was designed with the robot maker in mind, with 6 servo header pins, 2 motors connectors and a bunch of RGB LEDs for indicating status or just to make some cool lighting effects. The 2 QW/ST connectors mean its really easy to add additional sensors, and the Breakout Garden header at the front of the board makes it simple to add a laser range finder to the front to enable your robot to detect objects. The board also has a JST-PH connector for attaching a battery, such as the Galleon battery, or any other battery pack with this common connector type. Pros Great for getting started with robotics One board that has everything you need Great price for the functionality Documentation is excellent, with examples Cons 2 motors may not be enough connectors for some projects The motor connectors are proprietary, a screw terminal option would have been nice too Requires the Pimoroni branded MicroPython build to access the boards features
