From the exterior, this component appears to be a typical 2\u00d74 LEGO brick, but it has some fairly complex electronics on the inside. Builders familiar with previous sets will smile because you still have your classic studs on top and tubes underneath, as well as your 80s brick compatibility. Putting the Smart Brick through its paces reveals that it works well with bricks made around 1985. The connecting system remains unchanged from what we have come to expect.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-237063\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"They said this LEGO Brick was Smart...\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VcAytfrHL20?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><noscript><iframe title=\"They said this LEGO Brick was Smart...\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VcAytfrHL20?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>\nSo LEGO created the Smart Brick as the central component of their Smart Play concept. Toss it into a model, pair it with some special tags and minifigures, and watch as the brick lights up with sounds and emotions. There are no screens, apps, or external devices at all. To keep it powered, there is a special yellow charging pad that charges the internal battery by induction and includes copper coils all over the sides and bottom. The arithmetic is this: 2 hours on the pad equals around 45 minutes of actual playtime, but it gets even better: those coils also support reverse wireless charging, so you can charge your smart tags and minifigures wirelessly, with no wires or direct connection required.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0FMYVF9NB\" data-aawp-product-id=\"224806\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"LEGO Star Wars SMART Play  Throne Room Duel &amp; A-Wing Interactive Building Toy - All-in-One Set - Reacts to How You Move and Play with a SMART Brick - Gift for Boys Girls and Kids Ages 9+ - 75427\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/51DDkI6W+TL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"LEGO Star Wars SMART Play: Throne Room Duel &amp; A-Wing Interactive Building Toy - All-in-One Set - Reacts...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            LEGO Star Wars SMART Play: Throne Room Duel &amp; A-Wing Interactive Building Toy &#8211; All-in-One Set &#8211; Reacts&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>INTERACTIVE SET \u2013 Relive Star Wars: Return of the Jedi action with this Throne Room Duel &amp; A-Wing (75427) All-In-One Set, powered by the LEGO SMART&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>POWER UP LIGHTSABER BATTLES \u2013 Place the SMART Bricks on the dueling arms to hear SMART Luke Skywalker and SMART Darth Vader\u2019s Lightsabers hum as&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>3 LEGO SMART MINIFIGURES \u2013 Bring SMART Luke Skywalker, SMART Emperor Palpatine and SMART Darth Vader to life with the SMART Brick for immersive&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/07220054\/lego-smart-brick-teardown-1.jpg\" alt=\"LEGO Smart Brick Teardown\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>\nThe Smart Brick uses multiple sensors to monitor what is going on, including an accelerometer and gyroscope keep track of how it moves and tilts. When you tilt that model upside down, your minifigures will scream. Shake the model and you\u2019ll hear engine hums or flight noises. There\u2019s even a light sensor with a tiny prism that bends light directly onto the motherboard, allowing it to read colors nearby. Sticking blue on it produces refueling noises, while green produces repair noises. If the sensor detects a red colour, blaster fires! There\u2019s even a microphone that detects taps and blows and utilizes them as inputs, but it never captures or saves any audio. It only works as input.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/07220059\/lego-smart-brick-teardown-2.jpg\" alt=\"LEGO Smart Brick Teardown\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>The brick communicates with all other smart bits using BrickNet, a low-energy Bluetooth mesh network. It communicates with your tags and minifigures, so they respond. Your smart tags are essentially simply identifiers. Each one includes a signature indicating which sound library to utilize. If you add an X-Wing tag, you\u2019ll hear starfighter whooshes and cockpit talk. When you place a minifigure near it, it powers up via a tiny coil and provides the appropriate answer for that character. Because it is not using pre-recorded samples, the brick generates all sounds in real time, allowing it to alter things on the go without having to reboot.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> LEGO Smart Brick Lets You Build Intelligent Creations With Endless Possibilities, Here&#8217;s an Inside Look<br \/>\n<br \/>#LEGO #Smart #Brick #Lets #Build #Intelligent #Creations #Endless #Possibilities #Heres<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JerryRigEverything disassembled one of LEGO\u2019s newest products, the Smart Brick, to determine what makes it&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2787,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[117,332,2582,2583,410,1570,2580,2581,2584,214],"class_list":["post-2786","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech","tag-brick","tag-build","tag-creations","tag-endless","tag-heres","tag-intelligent","tag-lego","tag-lets","tag-possibilities","tag-smart"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lego-smart-brick-teardown.jpg",1280,853,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lego-smart-brick-teardown-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lego-smart-brick-teardown-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lego-smart-brick-teardown-768x512.jpg",640,427,true],"large":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lego-smart-brick-teardown-1024x682.jpg",640,426,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lego-smart-brick-teardown.jpg",1280,853,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lego-smart-brick-teardown.jpg",1280,853,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lego-smart-brick-teardown-1024x682.jpg",1024,682,true],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/news678.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/lego-smart-brick-teardown-540x340.jpg",540,340,true]},"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/news678.top\/?author=1"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/news678.top\/?cat=8\" rel=\"category\">Tech<\/a>","tag_info":"Tech","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2786","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2786"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2786\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/2787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2786"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2786"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news678.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2786"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
