Connecting your Colour Tail

It is recommended that you connect your Colour Tail after plugging in the Micro USB cable into CodeBug and disconnect your Colour Tail before unplugging the Micro USB from your CodeBug, to avoid damaging the devices. Take care when plugging in or unplugging devices from CodeBug.

To fit a Colour Tail to CodeBug, place the Colour Tail on a table with the LEDs facing upwards, then placing CodeBug with LEDs side up, gently slide CodeBug’s expansion socket onto the 6 pin connector on the Colour Tail.

When reprogramming CodeBug with the Colour Tail attached, you can pull the end of the USB cable that plugs into the computer instead of the end that plugs into CodeBug, then (while holding button A) plug it back into the computer.
