This update introduces several new blocks and features designed to make large circuits cleaner, easier to organize, and more powerful.
The update includes:
Bus Blocks
RGB LED Block
Bus control support for Speaker Blocks
Bus Blocks allow multiple wire signals to be carried through a single organized connection.
When Wire Blocks are connected to a Bus Block, their signals are transferred through the corresponding channels of the bus.
There are 16 Bus Block, allowing you to visually separate different data lines and systems within larger builds. acting the same way as wires allowing for bus blocks to be side by side and not connect. allowing for more compact builds
Bus Blocks can help reduce wiring clutter and make computers, memory systems, displays, audio systems, and other complex circuits easier to build and understand.
The new RGB LED Block can display up to 4,096 different colors and supports two control modes.
In Normal Mode, the RGB LED operates the same way as a normal led block,
but with an added interface to select the color that it should display. This mode is useful for decorative lighting, indicators, status lights, and color-coded systems.
In Bus Mode, the RGB LED receives its color information from 12 bus channels.
Channels 1–4: Red intensity
Channels 5–8: Green intensity
Channels 9–12: Blue intensity
Each color channel uses four bits, allowing the strength of red, green, and blue to be controlled independently.
This makes it possible to create animated lighting, programmable color displays, status indicators, visualizers, and smooth color transitions.
Speaker Blocks can now also be controlled using the new Bus Blocks.
The 16 bus channels are divided between frequency, waveform, and volume controls:
Channels 1–12: Frequency
Channels 13–14: Waveform Channels
15–16: Volume
This allows a single bus connection to fully control the sound produced by a Speaker Block.
By rapidly changing the bus data, players can create programmable instruments, music systems, alarms, sound effects, and audio sequencers.
Bus Blocks are intended to make complex builds easier to organize while reducing the amount of individual wiring required.
Combined with the new RGB LED and expanded Speaker Block controls, this update opens up new possibilities for programmable displays, music systems, computers, visualizers, and other large logic projects.
I’m excited to see what everyone creates with these new blocks!
