Xtron Pro itself has many hardware resources, you can make projects based on this resource. If you want to make a more complex project, which may contain more inputs and outputs, you can use extention modules to meet your needs.
Prepare the Hardware
Connnet your module to your Xtron Pro.
Set the address of your module
Prepare the Software
Open Ovobot XMaker editor.
Add a new project.
Add the modules extension.
Now you can use Xtron Modules blocks in Xtron Modules and Lightext Toolbox.
Modules
Touch & Led module
Touch & Led module has 8 RGB Leds and 2 touch input pads, you can program it to flash colorful lights, run light animations and read touch input. You can even make a touch control light with this single module.

Servo controller module
Just like it's name, you can use it to control servo motors, it has 4 ouput ports, so you can connect 4 servo motors to one module at the same time, but please keep in mind that Xtron Pro's current output capacity is limited, so if you want to use it to control a high-torque servo, you need to connet an external power supply to the module.
It supports 9g servo motor with 2.54mm pitch plug by default.
