Crickit Tour

Power Input

Your project start here, where power comes into the

Crickit and is then used to control various motors and

parts. We cover the various ways you can power your

Crickit in the next section, since there's a lot of flexibility

depending on the budget, portability and complexity of

your project.

For now, assume you will plug in a 5V wall adapter to the 2.1mm DC jack. This DC jack is the only way to provide

power to Crickit. There's a USB jack (covered at the bottom of this section) but you

cannot power the Crickit that way

(the USB jack is only for debugging seesaw!)

Although the Crickit HAT for Raspberry Pi is not octagonal like other Crickets, the HAT still has the same

features that are listed below, just rearranged to fit the rectangular HAT shape.
