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.

INSTALLING BIT LIGHTS UNDER
LEGO® BRICKS AND PLATES
When installing Bit Lights under
LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed
the correct way up (Yellow LED
component exposed). You can either
place them directly on top of LEGO®
studs or in between.
