“Sound” motor control @adafruit with CRICKIT #CRICKIT

“Sound” motor control (video). The demo is how to control the speed of a motor with sound using the microphone sensor on CircuitPlayground & CRICKIT. To everything (turn, turn, turn). Code & guide. Crickit – A Creative Robotics & Interactive Construction Kit. It’s an add-on to our popular Circuit Playground Express that lets you #MakeRobotFriend using CircuitPython, MakeCode, Arduino, etc.. robotics, arts, crafts, audio animatronics, sensors, agriculture/robot farming, physical computing, kinetic sculptures, science experiments, telescope control…

The Crickit is powered by seesaw, an I2C-to-whatever bridge firmware. So you only need to use two data pins to control the huge number of inputs and outputs on the Crickit. All those timers, PWMs, sensors are offloaded to the co-processor.
