Foreword

Thank you for purchasing Makeblock Neuron.

The manual includes detailed descriptions for each block of the Neuron, and various examples of

combinations of blocks. Before reading this manual, we recommend that you get to know the Neuron by

firstly referring to the quick start guide, provided in the product package.

A. Supplies power to the other blocks.

Press the power button to turn on the smart power block. To turn it o, hold the

power button for around 3 seconds until all lights disappear.

How does it work?

Supplies power to other blocks. The built-in Bluetooth module

allows the Neuron to be connected to smart phones, tablets or

computers, where the blocks can be programmed.

Smart Power

If the smart power block is turned on but not connected to other blocks,

it will automatically turn o aer 16 seconds. Double click the power

button to cancel or restart the function.

When the smart power block is turned on, an initialization period of 1

second occurs. During this period, the power status indicator will be

remain solid green.

The energy and communication blocks provide power to the other blocks.

The communication blocks facilitate a variety of wireless communication. The blocks can communicate

wirelessly with smart phones, tablets, and computers. The communication blocks can also make two series of

blocks communicate with each other wirelessly.

B. Connect Neuron to a mobile phone or tablet via Bluetooth and use the Neuron app or

Swi Playgrounds to program the blocks.

C. Connect blocks to computer via a USB cable and use mBlock 5 to program the blocks.

The power status indicator will turn green when the Bluetooth connection is completed.

The power status indicator will turn green when the connection is completed.

Press the power button.

Turn the knob clockwise.

The buzzer will make sounds

varying in pitch.

Have a try!

The knob is an input block which is used to adjust values. When you connect the knob to output

blocks, you can adjust the output eects by turning the knob. It works the same way as adjusting the

volume on a speaker by turning the knob.

Knob

The input blocks receive information such as sound, light, images or motions, from the environment.

The information is converted into electrical signals and transmitted to the output blocks.

These signals instruct the output blocks how to respond. Input blocks exist abundantly in daily life,

like light switches and volume knobs.

Input Blocks

How does the ranging sensor measure distance?

The IR transmitter emits infrared light

which is reflected when it hits an

obstacle. The reflected infrared light

is detected by the IR receiver. The

distance between the obstacle and the

block can be calculated by the time lag

between transmission and reception.

Place your hand over the ranging sensor and gradually

increase the distance of your hand from the sensor.

More lights will light up on the

LED panel.

The ranging sensor is used to measure the distance between the sensor and an obstacle.

Measurement range: 2cm – 200cm

The ranging sensor includes an IR

transmitter and an IR receiver.

Class 1 Laser Product.

This product complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 50,

dated June 24, 2007.

Have a try!

You will notice that the LED panel

becomes dark.

Press the power button.

Cover the light sensor with your hand.

The light sensor can detect the intensity of light in the surrounding environment. The stronger the

intensity of the light received by the block, the stronger the output signal will be. An example of this

in everyday life is the brightness of a mobile phone screen. The brightness will automatically change

in response to the ambient light condition, which is credited to a light sensor.

Light Sensor

Connect the blocks and touch the metal part of

the Funny Switch with one hand and the metal

part of the GND wire clip with the other hand. The

series of block starts to work!

Use a Funny Switch to clip on a conductive object,

such as a banana. Touch the banana with one

hand and the metal part of the GND wire clip with

another hand. See what will happen!

Plug the Funny Switch into the slot 1 and plug the

GND wire into the slot 2.

Connecting the Funny Touch to conductive objects (such as bananas and water) will turn the objects

into touch switches. Check the conduction status between the Funny Switch and the GND wire to

achive simple and fun eects.

Temp

The RGB lights on the LED

strip will light up one by one.

Place the temperature sensor

probe in hot water.

Plug the temperature probe into the slot. The temperature sensor can detect temperatures ranging

from -55°C to 125°C.

Accuracy: ±0.5°C ( -10°C – 85°C)

Temperature Sensor

Press the power button.

Care should be taken if the measuring temperature exceeds 100°C, as this might damage the probe cable of the

temperature sensor.

Output blocks receive signals from input blocks and give corresponding responses,

such as making sounds or rotating motors. In everyday life, output blocks are everywhere.

Why do the RGB lights have so many colors?

The RGB is an additive color model in which red, green and blue

lights are added together to reproduce nearly 16.78 million colors.
