LAYING CABLES IN BETWEEN

AND UNDERNEATH BRICKS

Cables can t in between and

underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and

tiles providing they are laid correctly

between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT

forcefully join LEGO® together around

cables; instead ensure they are laying

comfortably in between each stud.

CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect

over a cable can result in damaging

the cable and light.

CONNECTING CABLE CONNECTORS

TO EXPANSION BOARDS

Take extra care when inserting

connectors to ports of Expansion

Boards. Connectors can be inserted

only one way. With the expansion

board facing up, look for the soldered

“=” symbol on the left side of the port.

The connector side with the wires

exposed should be facing toward the

soldered “=” symbol as you insert into

the port. If a plug won’t t easily into

a port connector, do not force it.

Incorrectly inserting the connector

can can result in bent pins inside the

port or possible overheating of the

expansion board when connected.

CONNECTING CABLE CONNECTORS

TO STRIP LIGHTS

Take extra care when inserting

connectors to ports on the Strip

Lights. Connectors can be inserted

only one way. With the Strip Light

facing up, ensure the side of the

connector with the wires exposed is

facing down. If a plug won’t t easily

into a port connector, don’t force it.

Doing so will damage the plug and

the connector.

CONNECTING MICRO CABLE

CONNECTORS TO MICRO

EXPANSION BOARD PORTS

Take extra care when inserting the

micro connectors to micro ports of

Micro Expansion Boards. Connecting

Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion

Boards is similar to connecting lights

and cables to Strip Lights. With the

expansion board facing up, ensure the

side of the connector with the wires

exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t

t easily into a port connector, do not

force it. Use your ngernail to push

the plastic part of the connector to the

micro port.
