Bricklets can be used to extend the features of Bricks. There are Bricklets to measure physical quantities such as rotation, voltage, current and ambient light as well as Bricklets for control purposes such as switching relays, digital input/output and alphanumeric output on LCDs.
Bricklets have no fixed size. Each Bricklet has the minimum size possible. Each Brick has typically multiple connectors for Bricklets. Bricklets are controlled by the connected Brick.
There is an extra section for discontinued Bricklets.
