Before building the box and mounting the components, it's a good idea to wire up the electronics and make sure everything is working!
Buttons
- In "Signal I/O" on CRICKIT, connect the wires of one button to signal and GND (doesn't matter which is which) on input 1
- Repeat for second button on input 2
Potentiometer
- Orient potentiometer or "pot" like in the diagram above.
- Connect alligator clip from middle pin of the pot to signal on input 8
- Connect alligator clip from left pin of the pot to 3.3V on input 8
- Connect alligator clip from right pin of the pot to GND on input 8
Capacitive Touch
- Connect alligator clip from capacitive touch input 1 on CRICKIT to conductive tape.
NeoPixels
- Connect alligator clip from 5V on the NeoPixel strip to a breadboard wire then insert and screw down that wire to 5V on the NeoPixel input on CRICKIT.
- Repeat for Data and GND wires.
Speaker
- Connect speaker wire to CRICKIT speaker input (orientation does not matter)
DC Motor
- Connect DC motor wires to CRICKIT Motor input 1 (orientation does not matter)
Electromagnet and Solenoid
- On the CRICKIT Drive section, screw in one cable from each the solenoid and the electromagnet into 5V
- Screw in the other cables to Drive inputs 1 and 2 for the solenoid and the electromagnet respectively.
The Servo
- Plug in the servo to Servo input 1 on the CRICKIT with the brown wire facing inward towards the CRICKIT.
