microshield
This micro:bit micro:shield package was developed by Make&Learn. It can be purchased through the Make&Learn online shop.
This module, micro:shield, is specifically designed for education in order to offer a flexible board where you can connect components of many kinds, especially the ones that the educational community uses more frequently.
// On Button A pressed, turn the stepper motor 1 45 degrees and
// run counterclockwise the motor DC 1 and 3 at maximum speed
input.onButtonPressed(Button.A, function () {
microshield.StepperDegree(microshield.Steppers.STEP1, 45)
microshield.MotorRun(microshield.Motors.M1, -100)
microshield.MotorRun(microshield.Motors.M3, -100)
})
// On Button B pressed, turn the stepper motor 1 -45 degrees and
// run clockwise the motor DC 1 and 3 at maximum speed
input.onButtonPressed(Button.B, function () {
microshield.StepperDegree(microshield.Steppers.STEP1, -45)
microshield.MotorRun(microshield.Motors.M1, 100)
microshield.MotorRun(microshield.Motors.M3, 100)
})
// On Button A and B pressed, turn off the motors DC 1 and 3
input.onButtonPressed(Button.AB, function () {
microshield.MotorStop(microshield.Motors.M1)
microshield.MotorStop(microshield.Motors.M3)
})
// When the micro:bit is shaken, drive a servo to 180 degrees and then 90 degrees
input.onGesture(Gesture.Shake, function () {
microshield.Servo(microshield.Servos.S3, 0)
basic.pause(1000)
microshield.Servo(microshield.Servos.S3, 20)
})MIT

This module can be programmed with python, as well. Make&Learn have developed a set of python libraries for specific components like DC motors, servos, steppers and sonar sensor.
