Compatibility with LightMyBricks
I purchased LightMyBrick's kit for Hogwarts but I'd like to control the lights with an Arduino. Your shield looks incredibly interesting but is it compatible with components from LightMyBricks? I noticed in your post for plans throughout 2023 you mentioned converters for cross-manufactuer compatibility but I don't see any mention of LightMyBricks under your products page.

Hi, and thank you for your question. We do sell conversion cables and adapters that make all of our products compatible with LMB. In general, if one of our parts has a small plug (same size as the LMB plugs), then it will work with no conversion needed. If it has a large plug (like on some of our older products and also on the Arduino shield, then you have two options:
- Purchase some conversion cables to change the large plug to a small plug.
- Purchase a combination of connecting cables with large plugs and conversion adapters.
The key is getting to a "small plug"-- from there you're fully compatible.
I hope this is helpful-- please let us know if you have any additional questions!
