SUPERCX

The new Super Cricket is a low-cost micro-controller ideal robotics, data collection, electronic art projects, school technology demonstrations, and lots of other applications.

The Super Cricket adds a bunch of motor and sensor ports to the popular Handy Cricket design, while still keeping the small, hand-held size and low cost.

The Super Cricket has the following feature set:
  • Microchip PIC® microprocessor with built-in Logo interpreter.
  • 4096 bytes of user program and data memory. This memory preserves your program and data even when the Cricket is turned off and batteries are removed.
  • Outputs for 4 DC motors, with two plugs and one bi-color LED on each output.
  • Inputs for 6 sensors. Sensor value may be read as true/false or converted to a number from 0 to 255.
  • Outputs for 8 servo motors.
  • 2 bus ports, which allow the Cricket to interact a large collection of other devices.
  • Built-in infrared transceiver with raw data rate of 50k baud.
  • Power supply provided by four AA cells.
  • Piezo beeper, program run/stop button, power LED, and program run LED.
The Super Cricket is available in a starter kit with either the serial Cricket beamer or USB Cricket beamer.
