    • LittleBits

    Description

    Littlebits are a plug and play learning electronic assembly tool that allows a builder to quickly create a circuit without having to solder or worry about directions of electrical flow.

    Specifications

    • Materials: Materials aren't required, but objects such as wheels, or other electronics can be used in your project.
    • Software: N/A
    • File types: N/A
    • Machine details: N/A
    • Production time: dependent on the project scale

    Procedures

    1. Consider the goal of your circuit (Flashing LED, a sound goes off, etc) and write it as a planning sentence
    2. Work backwards from your output by connecting littlebits, towards the power source.
    3. example:
      • If you used “AND” in your sentence: you require a “Fork” bit
      • If you used “OR” in your sentence: you require a “Latch” bit
      • If you used “WHEN” or “AFTER” in your sentence: you require an input bit
        • Example Sentence:
          • A light is turned on WHEN it is dark
            • A light = LED
            • WHEN it is dark = Light Detecting Input
