Getting started with Lego crafts
Lectrify components are sized to fit onto standard LEGO pieces. To get started, all you need is copper tape, a battery holder and an LED.
- Lay strips of copper tape in between the LEGO pegs. This will give you the best fit.
- Place components on pegs, remember to connect red to red and white to white.
- Make your own LEGO creation!
