MEET THE CUBES!
Bring your toys to life with Circuit Cubes, the electronic
building blocks that add power, motion, and light to your
creations. Designed by STEM teachers, Circuit Cubes can
turn a light on, power a motor, or make wheels spin —
plus, they work with your LEGO® bricks.
BLUETOOTH
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.
CUBITS
Cubit Geared Motors are compact and powerful. The
tiny planetary gears inside reduce the high speed motor
to about 160 RPMs (rotations per minute) to provide
torque to gears, wheels, etc. Three (3) ports around the
Cubit Geared Motor allow maximum versatility to
connect the wires from the Bluetooth Cube.

BLUETOOTH MODE
You can control the three outputs [ A | B | C ]
independently with the Circuit Cubes app. Each ouput
allows you to control and 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.
BLUETOOTH [ ]
Flip the switch to the left to control your creation via the
free Circuit Cube app — find it in the Apple App Store or
Google Play Store.
PAIRING
A blinking blue light indicates that the Bluetooth Cube is
pairing with your device. When the light is solid blue [ ],
it's connected.
OFF ON
BATTERY MODE
Flip the switch to the right to power your creation in
standard battery mode. A solid green light [ ] indicates
that the Bluetooth Cube is powered on. Outputs [ A | B | C ]
are on, and you cannot control voltage.
PROTECT
Your Bluetooth Cube has short circuit protection for when
you cause a shortage. Power will be disabled and the top
LED will flash green [ ] and blue [ ]. You will hear a
beeping sound until the short is removed.
CHARGING
To charge your Bluetooth Cube, plug the provided USB
cable into the charging port on the side, and connect it
to a standard USB port. The LED will turn red [ ] while
charging and green [ ] when charging is complete.

OUTPUTS
The Bluetooth Cube has three outputs [ A | B | C ]. In
Bluetooth Mode, ouput A and the metal posts are the
same, and are linked when powered on.
CONTROLS
Power the three outputs [ A | B | C ] using Tank, Tinker,
Gamepad or Code in the Controls section of the App.
The correct output settings to control each build is
located at the end of each section.
