Summary

littleBits Basics

Bit Anatomy

Learn how to identify the top and bottom of a littleBits module.

Bit Color-Coded Functions

Bits are categorized and color-coded by function: Power, Input, Output, and Wire.

Magnetic Bit Connections

Bits snap together using magnets, ensuring correct orientation. Arrows should point the same direction for proper connection.

Circuit Logic and Order

Power Bits come first, followed by Input Bits, which affect Output Bits that come after them.

30 Second Quick Start

Quick Start Circuit Assembly

A simple circuit demonstration using power, dimmer, and bargraph Bits to get started quickly.

BIT INDEX

p1 Power Bit

Provides the necessary power for the circuit, converting 9V to 5V for littleBits.

i3 Button Bit

A momentary switch that acts like a door, allowing signals to pass when pressed.

i6 Dimmer Bit

Controls the signal strength by twisting a knob, affecting light, motors, or sound.

o9 Bargraph Bit

Displays signal strength using five LEDs in different colors, converting electricity into light.

o11 Servo Bit

A motor that can swing or turn to a specific position, controlled by input signals.

w7 Fork Bit

Connects a single Bit to up to three others, distributing a signal to multiple outputs.

w6 Arduino Bit

Brings programming power to circuits, enabling complex sequences and logic.

a19 Servo Hub

Allows easy attachment of materials to servo motors for more complex movements.

a23 Mechanical Arm

Attaches to servo hubs, offering leverage for pushing, pulling, and throwing actions.

a24 Servo Mount

Secures servos to mounting boards or shoes, keeping them steady for arm movement.

a26 Mounting Board

The backbone for inventions, allowing circuits to be kept intact and moved easily.

Micro USB Cable

Connects the Arduino Bit to a computer for programming and signal transfer.

Important Information

General Safety Warnings

Critical safety advice regarding magnets, small parts, electrical hazards, and hot modules.

Module Care and Cleaning

Instructions for cleaning modules using only a dry cloth or isopropyl alcohol sparingly.

FCC Compliance and Interference

Information on FCC compliance, radio frequency interference, and user guidance.
