Thanksgiving Robotic Turkey Hand with Circuit Playground Express and Crickit
Turn a tracing of your hand into a robotic turkey for Thanksgiving. This simple robotics project adapts an old project to use a servo motor powered by Adafruit CRICKIT for Circuit Playground Express controlled by CircuitPython.
Star Trek Soundboard with NeoTrellis
This project demonstrates how to create a soundboard that incorporates any 32 audio clips you want. The NeoTrellis M4 handles the audio processing, with CircuitPython as the code of choice.
The Great Seal Mask
Create a Halloween mask that turns the eye of the Great Seal, which appears on American currency, into a third eye that looks around, blinks, and responds to light. Uses HalloWing and CircuitPython to run the interactive eye animation.
Crawling Animatronic Hand
This animatronic hand crawls creepily along the floor until it finds a cool, dark place to hide. The hand is operated with one high torque servo motor mounted in the wrist, and controlled with a Circuit Playground Express programmed in MakeCode.
Halloween Monsters with CRICKIT and Circuit Playground Express
Turn cups and other recyclable materials into interactive Halloween decorations! Using Circuit Playground Express and MakeCode, get some dancing monsters going for your next haunt.
Halloween Sentry-Bot with CRICKIT for CPX
Learn how to detect vibration, sounds, and light to trigger different actions by your robot. All using MakeCode running on a Circuit Playground Express and an attached CRICKIT robotics board.
Automatic Cat Treat Dispenser
This simple robotics project uses CRICKIT for CPX to detect a capacitive touch press and dispense a reward.
Paper Airplane Launcher
Build a launching device for paper airplanes. Test different designs and see which fly best! The project uses a Circuit Playground Express microcontroller and the Crickit robotics add-on board.
Crawling Baby Sea Turtle Robot
Build a robotic baby sea turtle that pulls itself along with its flippers. This project demonstrates beginner robotic skills and pairs electronics with household recyclable materials.
Hello World of Robotics with Crickit
Robotics has often been a lot of work. With modern hardware and software, it is now possible to get up and going quickly in a single sit-down, in as little as 15 minutes. Using Adafruit Circuit Playground Express with Crickit, you can actually have a movement + sound project running quickly with a satisfying sense of accomplishment.
Paper Craft Zoetrope with Crickit
A Zoetrope is a device for making a short series of images appear animated. This project shows how to build your own simple paper craft zoetrope, generate your own animations, and program it to run using CircuitPython.
Mini Golf Course with Circuit Playground and Crickit
Use CRICKIT and Circuit Playground Express to create your own miniature golf game. This project can be built out of readily available household materials and uses MakeCode to control the obstacles which you must navigate your ball through.
Make it Move with Crickit
Getting from the concept of "I want my project to move X to Y" to something which works like your concept can be surprisingly difficult in the past. With the Adafruit Crickit robotics platform, you can understand what motors you want to consider and create working code within minutes.
Trash Panda
An animal panda you can build out of a scrap Amazon box. Demonstrates how to use CRICKIT paired with Circuit Playground Express to control multiple motors at once.
