Circuit Cubes Robots Roll! User manual

BLUETOOTH CUBEBLUETOOTH CUBE
The Bluetooth Cube can function like a standard Battery Cube to
power all the outputs at the same time with the 3-way switch in
the ON position. Move the switch to the Bluetooth position for
broadcast mode [flashing blue LED] to pair the Cube with your
device. Once connected [solid blue LED], you can control the
three outputs [ A | B | C ] independently using the app.

MOTOR CUBEMOTOR CUBE
A perfect fit for your LEGO® gears and wheels, this
mighty little Motor actually rotates at more than
1,000 RPM [rotations per minute], but the tiny gears
attached to the shaft reduce the rotations to about
75 RPM. This ensures maximum torque to turn the
wheels or gears of your build.
RGB LED CUBERGB LED CUBE
The Red-Green-Blue [RGB] LED has three different
LEDs in one bulb. Use the small switches to turn on
each of the LEDs and control the red, green, and
blue lights. Try combining the colored lights
in different combinations to make purple, teal,
and yellow.

BLUETOOTH MODEBLUETOOTH MODE
Once connected [ ], you can control the three outputs
[ A | B | C ] independently with the Circuit Cubes app. Each
ouput allows you to control & power different parts of the
build. Similar to the metal posts on the Cubes, each output has
positive and negative polarity. This makes the Motor move, either
clockwise or counterclockwise.
