Update Your Crickit

Your Crickit contains a special interface chip we call

seesaw

. Like a see-saw you see in a playground, it goes up/down

back/forth. In this case, instead of holding children, it sends commands and responses back and forth - motor

movement, sensors inputs, signal i/o...

The seesaw code is contained in a microcontroller near the bottom of the Crickit, and that chip comes with the seesaw

firmware on it already when you get it!

But we do make improvements to the seesaw firmware, fix bugs, and improve performance

So its a good idea to update your Crickit when you get it! It's easy and only takes a few seconds.

Step 1. Plug in USB cable into seesaw/Crickit

There's a little USB connector at the bottom of your Crickit labeled seesaw only! Plug a standard data-sync USB cable

into that port and into your computer. You do not need to plug in the DC power jack or power the

Feather/CircuitPlayground.

Do check that the switch on the Crickit is switched to ON

Step 2. Double-click the Crickit Reset button
