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.

You know what a button is! It’s a classic: big, round, and springy. Push to turn your creation on, and release to turn it off. Snap a buzzer in place after your button to sound out signals in morse code!

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.

Use the latch to turn any momentary input, like a button or a trigger Bit, into an on-off switch, like a toggle!

The brick adapter enables you to easily snap your Bits to LEGO® bricks. Each pack comes with brick adapter studs and sockets.

The bright LED (or "Light-Emitting Diode") is a small Bit that puts out a big light. Just like our other LED Bits, it's a great way to shed some light on your creations. Choose the bright LED when you want a LOT of bright white light.

The OR Bit is a logic gate with 2 inputs. If input 1 OR input 2 is receiving an ON signal, then it sends an ON signal from its output.

The IR LED (or infrared light-emitting diode) Bit sends out light with longer wavelengths than visible light, similar to the light in your remote control. It’s invisible to the eye, but many digital cameras can see it. Try using it to activate the light sensor or remote trigger.

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 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 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.

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 toggle switch Bit is a sturdy on-off switch that you can use to activate your creations with a nice, solid click. Try using it after a USB power Bit as an on-off switch for your whole creation.

The UV LED (or "UltraViolet Light-Emitting Diode") Bit sends out a special kind of light. It looks purple to the eye, but it has some special abilities, like making white fabrics and certain inks glow in the dark.

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 branch Bit gives you more options for connecting your Bits: it lets you connect the output of a single Bit to as many as 3 others, oriented in different directions. Use it when you want to trigger light, sound and motion at the same time.

The fork gives you more options for connecting your Bits; it lets you connect a single Bit to as many as 3 others. If you place an input before the fork, it will control all 3 outputs at once, such as light, sound, and motion.

The perf Bit is a quick and easy way to prototype a circuit for a brand-new Bit. It's a standard 0.1" perfboard with a VCC and ground bus connected to our bitSnap connectors.

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 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.

Vibration Motorin avulla voit laittaa minkä tahansa esineen värisemään. Tämä Bit sisältää myös vibeSnapin jolla voit yhdistää erilaisia esineitä, kuten paperia, moottoriin.

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.

The split lets you connect a single Bit to 2 others. If you place an input before the split, it will control the 2 outputs at once, like a single light sensor controlling 2 motors (to spin car wheels!). The flexible wires on the split also allow you to place your Bits farther apart and position them how you like.

The delay Bit takes incoming audio and repeats it, like an echo. Delays can be long and spacey, like shouting into the Grand Canyon, or loud and crazy.
