The Makeblock CyberPi Pocket Shield is an expansion board designed to extend the capabilities of the CyberPi controller by providing onboard power and additional connection ports for motors, servos, LED strips, and sensors. It enables CyberPi to be used in standalone mobile and robotics projects without requiring continuous connection to a computer.
🔋 Built-in rechargeable battery (800 mAh) — Powers CyberPi and connected devices without USB power.
🚗 Two DC motor ports — For connecting and driving DC motors.
🤖 Two 3-pin digital/servo ports — Compatible with servos, LED strips, or Arduino-style sensors.
⚡ Power output: 5 V at up to 2 A — capable of powering many external modules.
🧱 Designed for easy mounting with Makeblock mBuild / LEGO / metal structures.
💻 Supports programming via mBlock 5 (block-based) and Python using the cyberpi library.
Battery: Rechargeable Li-ion 3.7 V, 800 mAh
Input: 5 V 700 mA / Output: 5 V 2 A
Interfaces: 2 × DC Motor, 2 × 3-PIN Servo/Digital
Dimensions: ~84 × 35 × 18 mm
✔ Allows CyberPi to run autonomously without a PC connection.
