LittleBits

The random Bit creates unpredictable voltages and trigger signals to create complex sound sequences. It can either produce white noise, or it can control oscillators to make them play random pitches.

LittleBitsin Code Kit on helppo johdatus koodaamiseen. Code Kit aktivoi oppilaat harjoittamaan taitojaan mitä hauskimmalla tavalla - luomalla ja pelaamalla pelejä! Pakkaus 1-3 oppilaalle, 30 lisävarustetta ja tietokonepohjainen Code Kit -sovellus (Chromebook, Mac ja Windows).

You can control your Bits wirelessly with the inseparable wireless receiver & wireless transmitter pair. The wireless receiver decodes the information that’s sent to it from the wireless transmitter and sends it out of the bitSnap to create an action (such as when your RC car moves in the direction you sent it in).

Creative kids build and customize a planetary rover and undertake missions inspired by NASA astronauts. Do you have what it takes to explore space? Complete Rover Academy to prove it!

Twist this dimmer back and forth to control your circuit. As you twist the knob clockwise, more signal goes to the Bits that follow, brightening lights, speeding up motors, or raising the volume on buzzers.

The timeout Bit is a settable timer. Try it after a button and follow it with a light. Press and release the button to start the countdown.

With this Bit, you can control your circuits with motion. The motion trigger is similar to the sensor on an automatic door: when someone is moving nearby, it sends an ON signal to the following Bits. It's very sensitive, so don't move a muscle unless you want to be detected! Try it with some LEDs to create a security light.

The temperatures sensor responds to the temperature surrounding its probe. The higher the temperature it senses, the more signal it sends out.

The NAND Bit is a logic gate with 2 inputs. Think of it as "not and." The NAND Bit will always send an ON signal unless both input 1 and input 2 are receiving an ON signal. It’s the exact opposite of the AND Bit.

The bend sensor turns on as you flex the long strip. To send signal to your output Bits, bend the strip down, towards the Bit's feet. But make sure not to crease it - that could damage your Bit! Try it with a bargraph to test its sensitivity.

The NOR Bit is a logic gate with 2 inputs. It sends an ON signal only when neither input is receiving an ON signal. In other words, it’s the exact opposite of the OR Bit. The NOR Bit is good for inventions in which you want the output to be ON, unless 1 or both of its inputs are triggered.

The USB I/O module allows you send and receive digital audio and control voltages to and from a computer. When using in conjunction with a DAW, you can record your Synth Kit directly into a computer without the need of an external audio interface. You can also send audio from a computer into the littleBits system to manipulate it, for example with the filter and delay modules.

Think of the threshold as a toll booth. When the signal passing through a circuit reaches it, the threshold decides whether or not it can continue. Use it to make any sensor Bit (like a temperature sensor) into a trigger Bit!

The long LED is a flexible lighting option. We call it the "long" LED because the light is connected to the board by a cable, which lets you put the light in some interesting places. One of our favorite tricks is to place the LED in the middle of a foam ball to make it glow!

The sequencer allows you to connect up to 8 outputs and control them in sequential patterns. Sequences that would take as long as 4 days to program without littleBits will only take you seconds!

Use this Bit to control your circuits with sound! The sound trigger listens to the noise level in your room, and sends an ON signal when it gets over a certain level. Try it with a Bit that lights up to create a circuit that responds to the snap of your fingers.

The XOR Bit is a logic gate with 2 inputs. Think of it as "exclusive or," meaning that it sends an ON signal when it’s receiving an ON signal exclusively from 1 input or the other, but not both.

The motorMate works with the DC motor. This makes it easy to attach wheels, paper, cardboard, and lots of other materials to the DC motor.
