If you want to create your own robot friends then you are on the right page. Crickit is here to transform you favorite programming plateform into a robotic enabled plateform!
If you are wanting a companion, consider creating your own Johnny 5 robot. Robot are fun to program and open to your creativity (they will not complaint about the color used to paint him).
Adafruit designed Crickit to as a Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit and this one is the perfect add-on to the popular Feather ecosystem to create your friend by using MakeCode, Arduino or CircuitPython.
Plug any Feather into the Crickit connector and start controlling motors, servos, solenoids. Crickit also offers signal pins, a NeoPixel driver, several capacitive touch sensors and amplified output to wire a speaker. The crickit extends the functionnalities of your Feather, you can still use all the features of your Feather but now, woaw... you also get a lot of robotic oriented features.
Under the hood, the crickit is powered by SeeSaw, an I2C multifunctionnal board created by Adafruit. Thanks to I2C, only 2 lines of signals are needed to control all the features of the Crickit board. The Seesaw on the Crickit board is like a co-processor handling the PWMs, sensors, timers, etc.
Remark: The only thing that is not managed by seesaw is the audio output (sound have to be generated by the Feather's microcontroler). The board have a jumper that can be soldered to connect the audio amplifier to the first analog pin. Note that the Feather M0 have a DAC (true analog output) and it can play sound, small audio clip with Arduino code or CircuitPython. Other Feathers may not have a DAC and you will have to solder the a wire to a PWM enabled pin. PWM Pin can be used with tone() instruction to generate sounds.
With Crickit, you get:
5 Volts based board
All the feature are powered with 5V DC power supply. So this board can be used to propel 5V servos, 5V DC motors, steppers, 5V solenoids, 5V relays and so on.
There is no voltage mixing so this board is made to avoids fatal mistake. So remember 5V only (do not use with 9V or 12V robotic components).
eFuse protected board
Adafruit designed the board with a solid power supply system to minimize risk of damages.
So the Crickit can drive high-current devices safely.
The Crickit power supply have an 'eFuse' management chip that will automatically turn off:
Every motor driver also have a fly-back protection diode.
For each order, you will receive the Crickit completely assembled and tested.
To use this board, you will need additionnal component like:
We recommend a 5V 4A power supply if you are planning to work with large motors or large servos.
You can also find motors, servos, solenoids and other goodies on our shop.
