What are the differences between the Handy Cricket and the MIT Crickets?
The Handy Cricket is most closely related to the MIT Blue Dot Cricket. Before explaining the differences, here’s how they are the same. Both can run two motors and use two sensors. Their infrared communications are compatible. They have the same memory for user programs. Both have a pushbutton and a beeper. Now, here are the differences: • MIT Cricket uses a 9v battery. Handy Cricket uses four AA cells. • Motor and sensor connectors are different. • Bus device connector and voltage levels are different.

To make the Cricket stop running its program automatically, first hold down the Run/Stop program when turning on the Cricket. This will prevent it from running your program, and it will be idle, so you can talk to it. Then, enter the following at the Command Center: db $fff $ff Power-cycle the Cricket, and it should no longer automatically run its program. (Last updated 2007-05-08) What are good
