User Manual

Turn the Crickit over and locate the jumper block on the

bottom as circled in yellow in the first image.

You will need to take a knife and cut the tiny gold trace

pointed by the red arrow to sever the current NeoPixel

to microcontroller connection.

Using a soldering iron, put a mice bright solder

connection between the pads as marked by the blue

arrow.

The Seesaw Pin 20 is now connected to the NeoPixel

connections on Crickit.

The Adafruit_seesaw library (https://adafru.it/BrV) has seesaw NeoPixel support. You can get the latest version of this

library through the Arduino board manager as described in this guide on the Arduino page (https://adafru.it/EvT).

Your Arduino sketch should include seesaw_neopixel.h which provides the NeoPixel functions for seesaw.

The following example sets up a strand of NeoPixels and runs through some animations.

#include <seesaw_neopixel.h>

#define PIN 10

// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip

// Parameter 2 = Arduino pin number (most are valid)

// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:

// NEO_KHZ800 800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)

// NEO_KHZ400 400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)

// NEO_GRB Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)

// NEO_RGB Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)
