Software and Download Cable
Some Cricket kits come with an optional USB/Serial programming cable. This cable can
be used to program the Arduino with the original Cricket software or to program Cricket
with your own custom version of the software. If you did not get a cable, you can purchase
SparkFun part number DEV-9716 or any similar 6 pin Arduino programming module.

The Cricket program can be edited in the Arduino environment and the Arduino
reprogrammed. A new program will erase the current program. The original Cricket
program may be downloaded to restore Cricket's original behavior.
Cricket may also be purchased with a Nano Arduino Module which can also be connected
to a USB port so that Cricket may be reprogrammed. Both the Arduino IC and the Nano
Module use the same control Sketch.
