Perhaps some day we will rewrite the code and make it faster, better, whatever... The bottom of the blocks are shown in "Arbeit.pdf" on page 13. And because of the PIC inside the blocks you are able to connect every instrument you want. We also succeeded in plugging in an electronic piano's pedal. On the day of the "jugend forscht" competition we also cooperated spontaneously and just for fun with another team, who invented a new system for lightshow programming - the result was, that we did control a complete lightshow with stekgreif over their software.

I guess if you include resistors inside the blocks and standardize voltage, you should be able to interconnect anything you like.
