Adafruit Crickit for Circuit Playground Express

Develop your own robot with Cricket - the Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit from Adafruit. It is an expansion board for the Adafruit Circuit Playground Express Board.

Simply put your Playground Express on the Cricket circuit board and control servos, engines and much more. The cricket has Seesaw support and only uses two I2C data lines of the microcontroller to control all existing components (I/OS, timer, PWM outputs, sensors). Only the audio output is not provided by Seesaw.

The crickit offers the following product features:

• 4x connection for analog or digital servos with 16-bit timers
• 2x connection for DC engines or 1x stepper motor with 1a limitation and 8-bit PWM speed control
• 4x Darlington circuit with freewheel diode for controlling relays, coils, large LEDs or a stepper motor
• 4x capacitive touch sensor with contact surfaces for crocodile terminals
• 8x digital or analog input and output
• 1x Class D, 4-8 ω speakers with 3W audio amplifier
• 1x neopixel driver with 5V level converter

All inputs and outputs are designed for voltages of 5 V. 9 or 12 V components are not supported. Please note that you need a 5V power supply to operate the cricket that is not included.
