Bottango Impulse
Servos and Bottango, more powerful and easier than ever!
With 10 servo headers, a small size, and the powerful integration features of Bottango Control Boards, you can use Bottango Impulse as a 10 servo booster to your animatronic project working with other Bottango control boards, or use it on it's own as easy 10 servo integrated Bottango control board.
New orders usually ship in 1 - 2 business days.
Easy Servo Control
Bottango Impulse is a powerful 10 servo animatronic control board, even on it's own.
- 10 PWM servo headers
- Integrated power circuit for powering servos and the board itself from one input (see documentation for power supply requirements)
- All the latest and greatest Bottango features ready to go, so you can worry less about designing your own hardware controls, and get to creating
Even Better Together
Bottango control boards are made to work together.
Mix and match Bottango control boards into one unified show, with each boards communicating and coordinating with the others, either wirelessly or through daisy-chained wired RS485 connections.
With easy centralized show controller features, you can keep all your Bottango control boards working together, turning separate hardware into one unified project.

Each Bottango control board fills a different role in the lineup. Bottango Impulse is the easiest way to get going with servos, or to add more servo channels to your multi-board Bottango project.
You can learn more about Bottango Impulse, and the other Bottango control boards, as well as example use cases and recommended hardware in the official documentation.
Included With Bottango Impulse: Mounting plate and hardware.
Required Hardware: You will need to provide your own servos, USB-C cable, and power supply (6V 7A maximum, see docs for more details).
Details on required hardware, feature guides, use case recipes, downloads and more are included in the Bottango control boards documentation.
Bottango Impulse DocumentationBottango control boards are a great way to utilize the most powerful features of Bottango's software without needing to design and implement your own bespoke hardware. Bottango control boards are made to "just work" with Bottango's powerful animatronic and robotic software.
Bottango Impulse has 10 PWM servo headers and an integrated servo power circuit. Power your Bottango Solar and servos from the same power supply (6V 7A max, see documentation for power supply requirements).
Bottango control boards can create a low latency wireless access point, allowing easy and performant wireless streaming of animations between two or more control boards. Connect one control board to your computer (Bottango Nova recommended) and set Bottango Impulse to connect wirelessly to it.
Combine Bottango Impulse with other Bottango control boards to create a show controller set up.
Bottango control boards can communicate with each other using wireless or wired RS485 communication options.
All Bottango control boards contain functionality to allow them to work together in a show controller use case, where one Bottango control board acts as a show controller and serves out animations without a computer to all connected boards.
Want Audio? Add a Bottango Solar to your project and connect it to Bottango Impulse, with 10 more servo channels added too.
Want a dedicated show controller? Bottango Nova is optimized to fill that role.
Bottango Impulse runs on open source firmware. You can change how Bottango Impulse works at the code level and upload your own custom firmware to the board.
But no code is needed, you can use all these features out of the box without writing your own code.
