  • Page 3 Important things to note: Laying cables in between and underneath bricks Cables can fit 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.
  • Page 4 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.
  • Page 5 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.
