Sadly 4 PWM pins aren't enough to get all 8-10 servos running, so I need a controller for that anyway, probably keep the arduino for that. Probably don't even need PWM for the servos though. (probably leeds to PCA9685 check #Servo Breakout for WeMos D1 Mini )

Totally neat: USB is on the GPIO headers. comparing that to the Raspberry PI derivates, that's pretty cool.

You can get PCA9685 breakouts with servo plugs very cheaply — they are larger than my breakout, but you have room.

  Are you sure? yes | no

Right, I have one of those boards on R8J4 fof the eye brows but there are next to no capes for the beaglepocket.
