I have a Cricket for the Microbit - I'm excited to use it with servos I also teach with it and would like to use it with MakeCode but I am confused about if it does not work or if it does. I found this that says it does not:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cri ... t/makecode
I found this page that provides code... so which is it and if not when might it be available and what do you recommend until then?

Re: Cricket, Microbit, MakeCode
As that first page says it's "not currently available", although it has been previously. I have no idea if it will be again.

Re: Cricket, Microbit, MakeCode
i have been using https://makecode.microbit.org/beta#editor as you can see from the link it is a beta and i don't know when or how it is put into production.
the adafruit guide for the crickit has the link for the extension you need to use it.
hope that helps

Re: Cricket, Microbit, MakeCode
I purchased the Crickit based on this page,
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3928
that says, "Please note at this time that MicroPython is not supported yet, just MakeCode & Arduino!"
Which to me says that it works with MakeCode on the product as listed: Crickit for the microbit.
But now that I have it, on this page:
https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-cri ... t/makecode
it says, "MakeCode is currently not available for Crickit for micro:bit or the Crickit HAT for Raspberry Pi."
and, "a binary from MakeCode it is compiled for the Circuit Playground Express"
Can someone from adafruit give us a clear response on this?
Thank you

Re: Cricket, Microbit, MakeCode
I advise you to make a new thread for this, as it will have a better change of being seen and answered by everyone (i.e. someone who might have an answer for you... which, alas, I don't).

Re: Cricket, Microbit, MakeCode
You can use MakeCode on the micro:bit with Crickit. In makecode.microbit.ort/#editor click on Advanced > Extensions then in the Extensions window type "crickit" into the search field and press enter. You'll see the crickit extension show up, just click on it to add.
