Learn how to use CodeBug Colour Tails and make beautiful light patterns.
Creating beautiful projects with Colour Tails is easy. They are plugged into CodeBug using the black Extension connector at the bottom of CodeBug.
Colour Tails give your CodeBug easy control of colourful lights in interesting shapes. They are really fun to play with and easy to use. The LED lights on Colour Tails are RGB (Red Green Blue) so they can produce any colour you can think of, by mixing different brightnesses of the Red Green and Blue light.
Colour Tails can be controlled with a few simple blocks.
