Some brand new great news concerning the #LEGO #SmartBrick #reverseEngineering efforts: after all the teardown that we've seen, there's already a KiCad(!) schematic. GitHub user nanash1 has shared their findings, so everybody can continue working from here!
The ASIC seems to handle quite a lot: NFC frontend, speaker, microphone, wireless charging + battery, LEDs and photo diode. Logic levels are 1.8V. The BT SoC connects 3 SPI peripherals: the ASIC, the accelerometer and the SPI flash. 🎉👏 Nice!

Ich kenne keinen anderen Youtuber, der solch einen Einsatz bringt… extra Kinder in die Welt gesetzt, um #Lego zu testen. Respekt! 😊 (jag) #Klemmbausteine #SmartPlay #SmartBrick

Teardown Of A 2026 LEGO SMART Brick

At the beginning of March this year LEGO released their new SMART brick, which looks like a 2×4 stud brick and is filled to the brim with sensors, LEDs, NFC and Bluetooth functionality, as wel…

Another #LEGO #SmartBrick teardown video on EvilmonkeyzDesignz' YouTube channel:

This looks like the (IMO) best descriptive and non-destructive disassembly so far. It also features some close-up views of the internals and also views of removed silicon chips under the microscope (magnification up to 500×). Thanks to @infosecdj for pointing me to this video!

Some snapshots from another YouTube video (from user Zerobrain) showing the teardown of #LEGO #SmartBrick. It also includes the charger. But this time no minifig. It shows a different perspective... but again very destructive. And it's in German.

Un test de LEGO sur iGeneration ? Oui, car la firme danoise a annoncé au CES 2026 une Smart Brick, un produit sur lequel elle travaille depuis des années. Les premiers sets viennent de sortir et nous en avons essayé plusieurs1 pour vérifier les prome...

Looks like a crime scene. I've done it myself: opened the #LEGO #SmartBrick. Unfortunately I've also accidentally cut some wires (not visible in the photo). Interestingly the NFC tag reading part still works though. Don't know about BrickNet though (brick to brick communication). However, that should work via Bluetooth LE. So maybe I just broke some sensing part. Off to more some other day...

Video "What’s Inside A LEGO SMART BRICK????" — Another teardown. A little less destructive it seems, as their brick still lights up.
They probably "only" damaged the wires around the actual brick. Downloaded from Instagram (user samwyattbricks), because I don't have it and you probably also don't.
