    In this case, maybe a project for a whole servo motor with position feedback would be also nice!

    The point of having a board with 8 or more motor ports and 8 or more sensor ports is to enable you to create a big project and control it with a single smart brick and a single battery pack.

    Those shields suck.

    Those shields suck.
    Fisrt of all they use the L293D motor driver, which is known to explode under the moderate load of LEGO motors.
    Secondly, those shields offer no significant number of ports compared to the original NXT/EV3 brick, and cannot be stacked, so what's the point of using an arduino or an rpi with those shields?
    If you like to code your projects in C, Java or Python, those languages are already available to the NXT brick.

    suggestion for new product
    How about a smart brick for NXT/EV3 sensors and motors?
     
    I am thinking about a replacement for standard NXT/EV3 smart bricks, which are quite limited in terms of number of ports.
    There are several issues in designing such a large board, for example...  more

    I am thinking about a replacement for standard NXT/EV3 smart bricks, which are quite limited in terms of number of ports.
    There are several issues in designing such a large board, for example the number of I2C buses.... which is unusual to have more than 4 on a common MCU. Perhaps this can be solved with I2C switch ICs. Also, for every NXT/EV3 motor port, 4 I/O lines are required, one H-bridge motor driver, probably a PWM driver, and two lines for reading the rotation out of the quadrature encoder.
    It is a challenging project, but this would allow for very large projects to be built with it.  less
