Do It Yourself (DIY)

Is it possible to reconnect / repair this wire lead to the magnet?…

Found that there was the possibility that the HAT would be getting a revamp soon, so I started working one some code for a runway effect. Testing with an LED strip works as I would expect, the lights do their thing, shut off, repeat.…

What type of cable is used on the Pico's on offer? I am trying to find extension cables online and I am having a rather tough time trying to find one, what with all the other series of Pico cables available. Where can I find any extension cables that use the "ends" in question? if not,…

Hi, I have been using Brickstuff lights for a few years, and I really like them. So easy to work with! I am working on a big(ish) project now, where I will create 50 or so "cells" where each cell will be lit. Somehow. The cells need to be modular as they will be coming with me to events,…

I have a couple coils of the 0.15mm 2 conductor wire from Brickstuff, which is amazing and lets me put lights in some otherwise impossible spots. Unfortunately it's also a PITA to solder due to the size, especially if you use 3rd party LEDs which require soldering in resistors as well.…

Hello, I am doing a custom install in a LEGO MOC locomotive. I am using a PF rechargeable battery box for power. I am using a Model Rectifier Corp Loco Genie DC/DCC board for motor, sound, and light control. I will have 8 Brickstuff warm white LED's, 4 for forward, and 4 for reverse.…

I have two questions: 1) How many cool white LED strips can be strung together using a 5v 1amp USB brick for power? 2) What is the max cable length limits be for these strips (i.e. max length of wire from USB power source to the last LED strip in a string of strips)?…

One common request we receive is for longer sections of our Flexible LED filament. While we're not able to supply filament in longer lengths, it is possible to solder multiple filaments end-to-end to create one long filament as shown in the photo above.…

Is say 5v 1 amp cable is that just a single cable or all of them?…

I would like to create my own wireless system, nested in the baseplate, as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwZtLHlH62M Is there a Tesla Coil I could use that isn't going to melt the plates, something thin that wouldn't take up too much space ? Also, I would like to confirm,…

HI! I was wondering maybe you could help me out on this, I was wondering do you know the best way to make almost genuine lego stickers? I saw lots of cheap options online but non are good quality. If you know that's great!…

Hello! I was wondering if you could help me. I wanted to buy some of the wire from your DIY shop, I saw that there were no DIY USB power connectors and was wondering if you could help me find not the wire but just the USB connecter to power everything up?…

This article describes the Brickstuff Intelligent Sound Module, which can be used to add sound to your project. Currently the Intelligent Sound Module is compatible with the following Brickstuff products: TRUNK11-RF 4-Channel RF Remote with Effect Controller Brickstuff Arduino Shield If you are…

Using the Brickstuff 4-channel long-distance RF remote transmitter and receiver pack, you can easily add wireless remote control to your Arduino projects with the Brickstuff Arduino Shield. As shown below, there are two plugs on the Brickstuff Arduino Shield for connecting the RF receiver.…

The Brickstuff Arduino shield has six high-current outputs that can be used to control a large number of connected lights. Each output is connected to an N-channel MOSFET on the shield, which provides the ability to control large numbers of lights.…
