Colorful Blocks With Diverse Functions

The Neuron is classi󽗉ed into three categories according to color.

Energy & Communication blocks (Green): Provide power to other blocks. The communication block contains a Micro USB interface,

you can connect the block to power bank or power adapter via USB cable to power the other blocks. The communication blocks also
supply diverse wireless communication modes.

Input blocks (Orange): The input blocks collect information (such as sound and light) from the environment and send signals to change

the output.

Output blocks (Blue): The output blocks receive signals from input blocks, and then do something, such as lighting up, moving or

making a sound.

Easy Connection

Magnetically snap together, experience the magic of Neuron.

O󽗌ine Creating

When you use the Neuron without any software, you can create rich e󽗈ects with the preset program. In this mode, the Neuron block
will behave according to the data it received from the previous block.

Connection rules in this mode:

The input block (orange) must be connected on the left side of the output block (blue).

Online Programming

Connect the Neuron blocks to a tablet, smart phone or computer, either with Bluetooth or Wi-Fi block, then you can design how
Neuron blocks interact with each other by using Makeblock Neuron app or mBlock. Reboot the power block to switch online
programming to o󽗌ine creating.

Makeblock Neuron App

With Makeblock Neuron app, you can invent with electronic blocks without programming knowledge. You only need to draw lines
between electronic blocks in an intuitive interface. This process also develops logical thinking and intuition about electronics.
Furthermore, Makeblock Neuron app may control your invention remotely via its IoT (Internet of Things) functions, making it a perfect
tool for education and creation.

How to begin?

1. Download the Makeblock Neuron app from

2. Ensure the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi block is connected to your chain.

3. Launch the app and follow the instruction on screen to connect your blocks to your mobile device.

Find more instruction at http://neuron.makeblock.com/en/

mBlock 5 (PC)

mBlock 5, based on Scratch 3.0, is a block- and text-based programming software designed for STEAM education. You can write
programs for Neuron. You can also create fun games, stories, and animations. By combining the functionalities of AI and Internet of
Things, mBlock 5 makes code learning simple and fun.

FAQ

Q: Why the program stops running after exiting the Makeblock Neuron app?

A: The Bluetooth block can not store programs, thus it needs the app to run the program.

Q: What should I do if the blocks have no response?

A: Reasons that may cause the problem:

When not using the Makeblock Neuron app or mBlock, the input block must be connected on the left of the ouput block. Please
refer to the Easy Connection section to check if the connection is correct.

The Neuron 󽗉rmware upgrade process is interrupted (due to poor connection). Please try to upgrade 󽗉rmware again.
The silicone case of the block was installed improperly, which may cause poor connectivity. Please adjust the silicone case

positions accordingly.

Q: Why does the battery life decrease?

A: The Power block uses a lithium-ion battery, multiple charges and discharges may decrease the battery life gradually.

Q: Why does the funny touch block goes wrong?

A: Reasons that may cause the problem:

The power supply is unstable. Please use a power adapter or power bank of high quality.
