Tag Sensor
Like the scanner at the grocery store, the Tag Sensor is designed to detect very particular Tags. This gadget activates only when it detects a Tag of the corresponding color or Tag Label within its radius.
Impact Sensor
This tough gadget knows how to take a hit. Attach the Impact Sensor to an object, and it activates whenever anything makes contact with it. You can tweak it so that the slightest touch activates it, or adjust it to require a hit from an object with a particular Tag.
Water Sensor
This Sensor activates the moment the object it’s attached to gets the slightest bit wet. It’s designed for occasions when you expect players to douse particular objects or the level itself in H2O.

Direction Splitter
In a feat that some might call a miracle and others might call witchcraft, this gadget takes a single input and turns it into two outputs. This voodoo may seem strange at first, but when combined with a 3-Way Switch, two different outputs can be triggered individually from a single input source.
Direction Combiner
The not-so-evil twin of the Direction Splitter, the Direction Combiner takes two inputs and combines them into one output. The catch is that this gadget only activates its output when one of the two inputs is activated, but never both.

Microchip
The Microchip takes up only a tiny part of your object’s surface to allow an impressive amount of gadget placement upon its almost boundlessly large Circuitboard. Use the left stick to reposition the protruding Circuitboard and the right stick to expand its size. Anything attached to a Microchip behaves as though it were directly attached to the object the Microchip is sitting on.

Broadcast Microchip
Groupthinking is a thing in the real world, and so too in LittleBigPlanet 3. The difference is that here, it is managed by Broadcast Microchips rather than catchy pop songs.

Sequencer

Controlinator

Mover
Have all the fun of moving without a truck rental. An object with a Mover attached to it zips along in one direction (and one direction only), propelled by an invisible force.

Gyroscope
Things are always looking up when there’s a Gyroscope involved. Attach this gadget to an object to make sure it’s always pointed up, down, or whichever direction you choose. When tipped over, objects with a Gyroscope attached find their way back to equilibrium with the speed and strength that you determine.

Joystick Rotator
Use the Joystick Rotator in conjunction with the Controlinator to give players direct control over the angle of your creation. Connect the Controlinator’s analog sticks to its vertical and horizontal controls. Once a sack person enters the creation’s Controlinator, the stick input you define controls the precise angle it’s oriented at.

Note
Notes are handy ways of leaving a message for players to let them know you finished off the milk. Tweak it to keep it hidden from view during Play Mode when you only want to explain how you put your wondrous level together to those exploring it in Create Mode. Notes are especially handy within complex Microchips, helping remind both you and any fellow creators you gift your machinations to what a particular linked set of objects does.

Object Tweakers
Anti-Gravity Tweaker
Gravity doesn’t have to be a cruel mistress to objects you’ve attached the Anti-Gravity Tweaker to. You can change how diminished the pull of gravity is upon the objects, whether the objects stay fixed in place when nudged, and whether they actively resist gravity rather than just defying it.
