User Manual

Each of the 8 signal pin numbers is available under the crickit object as SIGNAL1 through SIGNAL8 . Note these are
not DigitalInOut or Pin objects! We need to use the crickit.seesaw object to set the mode, direction, and readings
To simplify our code we shorted the crickit.seesaw object to just ss
Digital Pin Modes
You can set the mode of each signal pin with ss.pin_mode( signal , mode ) where signal is the crickit.SIGNAL# from
above and mode can be ss.OUTPUT , ss.INPUT or ss.INPUT_PULLUP .

# For signal control, we'll chat directly with seesaw, use 'ss' to shorted typing!

# Two buttons are pullups, connect to ground to activate
BUTTON_1 = crickit.SIGNAL1 # button #1 connected to signal port 1 & ground
BUTTON_2 = crickit.SIGNAL2 # button #2 connected to signal port 2 & ground
# Two LEDs are outputs, on by default
