How to Wind a Watch Automatically
Here's the fun part! With the watch mounted, plug in the Crickit to a 5V 2A (or higher) power adapter or battery pack.
Turn on the Crickit by flipping its on/off switch.
The Circuit Playground Express will show that it is in standby mode by first displaying a yellow NeoPixel LED. To start it, press button A (the Circuit Playground Express button on the left side).
The first LED will turn green, the watch will start to rotate for fifteen seconds as coded in MakeCode with the turn_time
variable!
Then it will pause for four minutes -- based on our MakeCode turn_time
variable.
If you want to reverse the direction, simply flip the Circuit Playground Express slide switch.
This will repeat indefinitely. You can stop it at any time by pressing button A again.
