● To avoid injury, do not touch the rotating parts of the motors when the power is turned on.
● Should the Core Unit, motor or Battery Box become very hot, immediately turn off the
power and cease handling the device.
● Be aware that using the motor or Core Unit under certain conditions (improper handling,
excessive load, extreme temperatures) may cause it to overheat, and take care to avoid burns.
● Be sure that the motion of the included DC Motor's axle is not obstructed when the motor
is powered. Even brief obstruction may cause burning depending on the condition of the
motor.
● Some parts have sharp edges, so handle with care.
● Do not leave parts lying on the floor, as they may cause injury if stepped on.

① Temperature Sensor
This sensor measures external temperature. ★ The internal temperature of the Core
Unit may affect the readings of the temperature sensor if it becomes heated by extend-
ed use of significant electrical power, for instance using the LED matrix.
②/③ A/B Buttons
The Core Unit detects when these buttons are pressed.
④ Power Light (Green)
This light turns on when the power is on.
⑤ 5 x 5 Full Color LED Matrix
These LEDs light up in RGB colors to display various images.
⑥ Light Sensor
This sensor uses a photo transistor that converts light into
electricity to measure the intensity of surrounding light.
⑦ Connection Light (Blue)
This light turns on when wireless communications
(through Bluetooth/Wi-Fi) are occurring.
⑧ Artec Block Connecting Cover
This cover can be attached to the edge connector.
It has studs on it that can be used to connect to Artec Blocks.
⑨ Buzzer
Transforms electrical signals into sound.

● Be careful not to get fingers pinched between movable parts.
● Do not subject the product to strong impacts, set heavy objects on top of it, etc.
● For your safety, avoid using parts that have been damaged.
● When not in use, shut off all power to the product and store out of reach of small
children.
Improper battery usage may result in overheating, rupture, or leakage, so take note of the
following when using batteries:
● Do not use non-alkaline batteries. Rechargeable batteries in particular are known to
cause problems, so do not use them.
● Batteries are to be inserted with correct polarity.
● Do not mix old and new or different kinds of batteries.
● Do not attempt to short circuit, recharge, disassemble, or heat batteries. Do not insert
batteries into fire.
● If it will be out of use for an extended period of time, remove the batteries from the
battery box.
● If battery leakage occurs and any battery fluid gets into the eyes, immediately flush with
water and seek medical treatment. If fluid comes into contact with skin or clothes, wash
immediately with water.

⑩ 9-Axis Sensor
・ 3-Axis Accelerometer: Quantifies the device's motion and tilt
by measuring acceleration.
・ 3-Axis Gyroscope: Measures angular velocity to quantify
rotational motions the accelerometer can't detect.
・ 3-Axis Compass: Quantifies which way the device is facing by
measuring the Earth's magnetic field.
⑪ Edge Connector
A connector for external expansion devices.
⑫ USB Port (microB)
A port used to plug USB cables into the device to transfer
programs from a computer or supply power.
⑬ Reset Button
This button is used to restart the device.
⑭ Power Connector
A port used to plug a Battery Box into the device to supply
power.
