This fully-assembled version ships with header pins installed.

Impressive robotics controller!

The Pololu Maestro 18 Channel Controller is a must-have for any ROBOTICS enthusiast. According to my experience, this controller provides precise control over all aspects of robot movement. The compact size of the controller is perfect for fitting into smaller projects while still being powerful enough for more complex designs. The Industrial and Scientific design ensures that the controller is durable and reliable. However, the controller could benefit from clearer instructions to aid in setup

Pros
  • Offers precise control over multiple servos for complex robotics projects
Cons
  • Price may be too high for some hobbyists on a budget

Very easy to use

This item is great for small projects. I built this robotic arm and it was very easy to set up. Programming tutorials could be a bit better, but I still recommend it if you're looking for something to easily control servos.

Pros
  • Whether you need the best servo controller available (0.25 µs resolution with built-in velocity and acceleration controls and pulse rates up to 333 Hz) or a versatile I/O controller (e.g. interfaced with a sensor or ESC via your USB port), this compact all-in-one supplies
Cons
  • Socket required
