The six-channel Micro Maestro takes serial servo controllers to the next level by incorporating native USB, TTL serial and internal scripting control. Whether you want the best servo controller available (0.25μs resolution with built-in speed and acceleration control) or a general I/O controller (e.g. to interface a sensor to your USB port), this tiny, versatile controller will deliver.

Pololu’s second-generation USB servo controller, the Micro Maestro has three control methods—USB for direct connection to a PC computer, TTL serial for use with embedded systems, and internal scripting for self-contained, host controller-free applications—and channels that can be configured as servo outputs for use with radio control (RC) servos or electronic speed controls (ESCs), digital outputs, or analog inputs, the Pololu Micro Maestro is a highly versatile six-channel servo controller and general I/O board in a highly compact (0.85" × 1.20" / 22mm x 31mm ) package.
The extremely accurate, high-resolution servo pulses have a jitter of less than 200 ns, making this servo controller well suited for high-precision animatronics, and built-in speed and acceleration control make it easy to achieve smooth, seamless movements without requiring the control source to constantly compute and stream intermediate position updates to the Micro Maestro.
This fully assembled version of the Micro Maestro ships with 0.1" male header pins soldered as shown in the product picture. A USB A to mini-B cable (not included) is required to connect this device to a computer.
