User Manual

If you have a micro:bit Crickit, NeoPixels are driven by

micro:bit Pin P16.

Use the Adafruit_NeoPixel library (https://adafru.it/aZU)

to control NeoPixels connected to Crickit through

micro:bit P16.

However, if you want, you can cut the jumper

underneath the Crickit and solder closed the ss pad so

that the seesaw chip controls the NeoPixels (for

advanced hackers only). See below.

Advanced Use - Using Seesaw to Control NeoPixels

Your microcontroller can communicate to the Crickit seesaw chip to have seesaw control the NeoPixels. Adafruit

considers this advanced use at the Arduino level and recommends MakeCode or CircuitPython for Crickit NeoPixel.

With this in mind, read on.

If you choose to have the NeoPixel driven from the seesaw, note it is on seesaw pin #20. To use seesaw pin 20 on

Circuit Playground Express and micro:bit Crickit, you must cut a jumper on the Crickit circuit board on the back. You

can always mend this with solder, but it's NOT something you change back and forth.

For FeatherWing for Crickit, the NeoPixels are already connected to seesaw pin 20, you don't need to do the surgery

below.
