SPIKE Firmware

Tufts CEEO SPIKE+ Firmware is MicroPython for SPIKE with UART and I2C which allows you to connect your own dongles. Connect SPIKE Prime and Essential hub by USB to inTufts CEEO has developed a custom firmware for SPIKE Prime Hub and SPIKE Essential Hub that enable UART and I²C communication (as well as individual digital pin control) via the SPIKE Ports, while maintaining all original SPIKE functionality. This allows SPIKE Hubs to communicate with a wide variety of external devices (breadboards, microprocessors, and other third-party electronic hardware).
