How It Works. The proto Bit is what littleBits engineers use to build and prototype new Bits. Hack into existing Bits, or invent a brand-new one by connecting to printed circuit boards or solderless breadboards. With the proto Bit, you...

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...

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...

The wire Bit has a flexible wire running between its 2 bitSnaps. This allows you to place your Bits farther apart from each other, turn corners, and make connections that can twist, turn, and spin. Try it whenever you need to break up...

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...

You can control your Bits wirelessly with the inseparable wireless receiver & wireless transmitter pair. The wireless transmitter gathers and encodes information (such as where you want an RC car to move) to send to the receiver. Pair...

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. Inventions With The XOR Bit Custom Timeout...

The bargraph shows you how much signal the Bit is receiving with a display of 5 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in different colors. Try it with a dimmer to make your own adjustable lamp. Real-World Analogies Music Visualizer FerrisWheel...

How it works. The bright LED features a half watt super bright LED that responds to incoming voltages linearly. The more voltage it receives, the brighter it gets. Check out TIPS & TRICKS Inventions With The Bright Led Bit Laser Gun With...

Bzzz! The buzzer Bit makes a sound no one can ignore. Just like an alarm clock! It's great at sounding the alarm or annoying those nearby. REAL-WORLD ANALOGIES. Car Alarm Doorbell Washing Machin Beep How it Works. The buzzer converts the...

Real-World Analogies Drill Ferris Wheel Car Engine How It Works The DC motor rotates a shaft when it receives a signal. The more signal it receives, the faster the motor will spin. Click the arrow to the right to learn more about how it...

The fan Bit is a small electric fan tethered to a Bit. Use the fan to create a gentle breeze, perfect for cooling things off or blowing bubbles. You can also try taping small things (like stickers or pieces of paper) to the center of the...
