Drives

The Drives block on Crickit makes it super easy to

connect higher current devices.

At left shows the Circuit Playground Express and Crickit

combination connected to several devices.

The Crickit for micro:bit is just as versatile.

Note the micro:bit is not shown at left, it would have to

be plugged into the Crickit.

The Drive output of your Crickit is perfect for 5V-powered solenoids, relays, vibration motors or high powered LEDs.

You can drive up to 500mA per output, and 4 outputs available.

Note that the 'positive' side of the electronic part you're driving has to connect to 5V not Ground. You can just

double/triple/quadruple wires into the same 5V terminal block.
