CircuitPython Code

To use Crickit, we recommend CircuitPython. Python is an easy programming language to use, programming is fast,

and its easy to read.

Install CPX Special Build

If you're using Circuit Playground Express (CPX), Please install this special 'seesaw' version of the CPX firmware. Plug

the USB cable into the CPX, double click the reset button until you see CPLAYBOOT drive, then drag the UF2 file onto

the disk drive:

What's nice about this special version is that the adafruit_crickit, adafruit_seesaw and adafruit_motor library is built in,

which saves you tons of space and makes it really fast to get started

Download and save it to your Desktop (or wherever is

handy)

The Crickit for micro:bit is not programmable in CircuitPython.



As this version of CircuitPython already has the Crickit and Seesaw libraries "baked in", ensure that the /lib

directory on your CircuitPython device (CIRCUITPY) does NOT contain the adafruit_crickit or adafruit_seesaw

library as they may conflict and it could unnecessarily use additional memory.
