Pi Pico Servo Angle Controller
Raspberry Pi Pico Servo Angle Controller Kit – Learn MicroPython with Real-Time Visual Feedback
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
Turn a knob and watch a servo mimic the angle in real time, with the exact degree displayed on a vibrant OLED screen. This project transforms a simple potentiometer into a precise angle controller, giving you instant visual feedback and a deep understanding of how pulse-width modulation (PWM) works in embedded systems. Ideal for school students and beginners exploring Raspberry Pi, the kit builds a complete functional tool in just a few hours.
What You'll Build
By the end of this build you will have a responsive servo angle controller. A potentiometer dial adjusts the servo’s position from 0 to 270 degrees, while the OLED screen shows the selected angle numerically. The entire circuit runs on MicroPython code you write and upload to the Raspberry Pi Pico.
What You'll Learn
- Reading analog input from a potentiometer using the Pico’s ADC pins
- Generating precise PWM pulses to command an SG90 servo
- Communicating with an I2C OLED display to output live sensor data
- Structuring a real-time control loop in MicroPython

Who This Kit Is For
Designed for young makers aged 10 and above, but suitable for anyone starting with Raspberry Pi Pico. It fits naturally into CBSE/ICSE robotics and computer science projects, ATL Tinkering Labs, and introductory B.Tech ECE/EEE labs. Parents and educators can guide children through the build, while college students will appreciate the clean demonstration of ADC, PWM, and I2C communication in a single project.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
Scan the QR code to start a conversation with the AI companion, or message us on WhatsApp. We’ll walk you through the exact step you’re stuck on.
Do I need previous coding experience to complete this project?
None required. The AI companion provides line-by-line MicroPython guidance, and the WhatsApp support team can answer any questions as you go.
Can this project be used for a school science exhibition or CBSE practical?
Absolutely. It demonstrates core electronics concepts like analog-to-digital conversion, PWM, and visual data display — ideal for an impressive and educational exhibit.
What if I want to use this to control a different servo or map a different angle range?
The code can be easily adapted. Ask the AI companion, and it will help you modify the PWM values and scaling formula to fit any standard servo.
Potentiometer maps 0-270 degree range to SG90 servo via PWM in MicroPython. Visual servo position display.
