The pressure sensor is a touch-activated module; give its pad a little squeeze to activate it. The more pressure you apply, the more signal it sends out. Put it in front of a vibration motor to control how much it shakes!

The light sensor Bit can turn your circuit on and off by detecting the brightness or darkness of the environment they are in. control your circuit's with light! The amount of light shining on the sensor will change how your circuit behaves. It's a great way to activate your circuit, and is perfect for alarms!

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

The proximity sensor Bit senses objects in front of it. It can sense if an object is far or near. Try using it to create your own self-navigating car, or a hands-free instrument!

The perf module is a quick and easy way to prototype a circuit for the littleBits library.

Ready to incorporate a carrot, your sunglasses, or great-grandma into your littleBits creations? Now you can use everyday objects to trigger your Bits and control cursors on your computer’s keyboard, or even control your computer with Bits.

The bargraph is one of littleBits favorite Bits: it has five LEDs in different colors that light up to show you how much signal the module is receiving. Try it with a pressure sensor to make your own strength-o-meter.

The wire Bit is just what it sounds like - it allows you to physically separate your Bits

The IR LED (or infrared light-emitting diode) module sends out light with longer wavelengths than visible light, similar to the light in your remote control.

The Littlebits Steam Student Kit is here to provide the most engaging classroom experience possible. It contains modules of every kind which are sure to capture the imaginations of minds everywhere.

The timeout Bit is a settable timer.

The sequencer allows you to connect up to eight 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!

The roller switch is a handy Bit -- it has a little lever with a wheel, and activates when something moves past it. You can also flip the mode switch to make it turn off when the lever is pushed in. Try that mode with an LED to make a fridge light.

The remote trigger lets you use a common remote control with your modules. Make your littleBits circuit and point your remote control at the remote trigger’s sensor. Then, press any button on your remote control to activate the module. The remote trigger will work with almost any button on a remote that uses infrared light to send signals.

RVR+ is Sphero’s revolutionary take on the programmable robot and is optimised for the high school classrooms and Makerspaces

The NAND module is a logic gate with two inputs. Think of it as “not and.” The NAND module will always send an on signal unless both input one and input two are receiving an on signal. It’s the exact opposite of the AND module.

The secret to learning? Make. It. Fun. So this kit's all about learning to build & code through games. With games, students embrace failure, make their own rules, think critically, and collaborate.

Think of the threshold as a toll booth for signal passing through your circuit. The threshold compares the incoming voltage coming from the bit snapped before it against the voltage amount you’ve set by the threshold knob. If the incoming voltage value is greater than the selected voltage, the threshold will allow the signal to pass and activate any bits (lights, motors, etc…) following it. If not, then nothing will be activated. Use it to make any sensor module into a trigger module!

Sphero RVR + littleBits Topper Kit combines the best of Sphero with the best of littleBits in an easy and approachable kit that allows you to fully utilize RVRs onboard capabilities with littleBits adaptability to create your own inventions.

The DC (or "direct current") motor rotates a small shaft you can attach anything to. Try attaching a wheel! Use it to spin, turn, twist, and roll.

The servo Bit is something that we're really excited about – a controllable motor that can swing back and forth! It has two modes: in “Turn” mode, the input from other littleBits determines the position of the arm – try using a dimmer to set the angle you want. In “Swing” mode, the servo will move back and forth on its own – the input controls how fast it goes. Attach a flag to the arm to make a signaling machine!

A mount for the littleBit servo motor to attach your motor to a littleBits mounting board.

The servo is a controllable motor that can swing back and forth, or be turned to a specific position. Try attaching a flag to the servo to make it wave back and forth!

The littleBits split module sends a single input to two wired outputs. It's great for connecting one output to two inputs, like using a keyboard to control two oscillators. But keep in mind that it can be used just like a wire module if you ignore one of its outputs.

You control the slide dimmer Bit by moving its lever from one end of the Bit to the other. It functions just like a light dimmer you might find at home, or a volume fader in a recording studio. Follow it with an LED for some adjustable mood lighting.

The sound trigger listens to the noise level in your room, and sends an ON signal when it gets over a certain level. You can make that threshold louder or softer using the included screwdriver. We like to use it with an LED to light up your room when you snap your fingers.

Secure your circuit with littleBits shoes! Simply snap together your littleBits circuit, press the feet of your modules into the holes of the shoes, and then place it on your chosen surface.

This little purple screwdriver is used to modify any Bit with a micro adjuster (e.g. pulse, rgb led).

The slide switch is a small and convenient way to turn your creations on and off. It uses a sturdy plastic lever to switch back and forth. Try it with any of your favorite Bits, like the DC motor or bright LED!
