Blueprint Engineering Kit Troubleshooting Guide

Why are there ports on each side of my Power Bit?
The dual ports allow you to power two independent Blueprint circuits from the same Power Bit. These ports operate independently and do not interact with each other.

My Motor Bit isn’t moving constantly:
It is likely in Position Mode. Switch to Velocity Mode for continuous movement.
My motor is spinning but my build isn’t moving:
Check that axles are properly secured. Use high-strength shaft collars on your driven axle to ensure engagement with the motor.
My Motor is in Positive Position Mode but spins counterclockwise:
The Rotary Potentiometer Bit also has negative and positive modes. Positive Mode does not always mean clockwise; Negative Mode does not always mean counterclockwise. Adjust the mode to achieve the desired direction.
Can I use my Motor Bit as a servo motor?
Yes! Connect the Rotary Potentiometer Bit right before the Motor and set the Motor to Position Mode.

My Data Display Bit isn’t showing what I want:
The Data Display Bit only reads the Bit directly before it in the circuit. Move it immediately after the Bit you want to monitor.
My Data Display Bit isn’t showing all the data from my circuit:
It will only display information about the Bit directly in front of it.

My circuit doesn’t work after my Threshold Bit:
The Threshold Bit only sends 0% or 100% signals. Adjust the knob or the < / > setting to meet the desired threshold.

My 2 Rotary Potentiometer Bits don’t add up correctly:
When placed back-to-back, their values are multiplicative, not additive. For example, 50% x 50% = 25%.

Ensure the Power Bit is turned on and all connections are secure.
Make sure all Bits are fully plugged in.
Confirm the Power Bit is not in Shipping Mode. It must be plugged in once to exit Shipping Mode.
Use the Data Display Bit after your circuit to identify potential issues.
Simplify your circuit by temporarily removing the Threshold Bit and/or Potentiometer Bit to isolate problems.
