Troubleshooting Crickit

Your Crickit is well tested but there's things that can trip you up! Here's a few common issues we see

My Crickit Is Doing Something Wrong

We do have bugs once in a while, so please always try updating to the latest Crickit seesaw

firmware (https://adafru.it/BMV) - then see if the bug persists

My Crickit Motors Aren't Moving!

My Crickit Keeps Resetting, It Works For a Bit... Then Fails!

Check the power supply. There's a few ways to know that power is good:

1. Check the "Happy Face" green LED below the power switch, it should stay lit!

2. Check the "Warning Symbol" red LED below the power switch, it should be

off

If you have updated the Crickit seesaw firmware (see

above) we have added NeoPixel feedback, the LED will

be green when power is good and blink red when

power is bad!

HELP! My Crickit isn't working in MakeCode, and in Python I see a message "No I2C Device

at Address: 49"

A super common issue we see is people using the Crickit with Circuit Playground Express (CPX) and the bolts/screws

have come loose! Those bolts aren't just mechanical, they pass signals back and forth between the CPX and the

Crickit!

If you're having issue, first thing to check is that those screws are tightly attached!
