Each Minifig and vehicle came with an NFC pad, and the portal itself is a glorified light-up three-in-one NFC reader.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Connect the portal to a Raspberry Pi and load Mellican\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/musicfig.com\/\">Musicfig code<\/a>, and it will play Spotify tracks or your own custom MP3 list when you place an NFC pad on the portal.
