Pinke Bits

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!

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!

Use this Bit to control your circuits 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 without hands, and is perfect for alarms!

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

The pulse Bit is like an electronic heartbeat. It makes other Bits turn on and off in a steady rhythm. It's great for making LEDs blink!

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

The pressure sensor is a touch-activated Bit - 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 remote trigger lets you use a common remote control with your Bit. Make your littleBits circuit and point a remote control at the remote trigger’s sensor. Then, press any button on your remote control to activate the Bit. The remote...

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!

The bend sensor turns on as you flex the long strip. To send signal to your output Bits, bend the strip down, towards the Bit's feet. But make sure not to crease it - that could damage your Bit! Try it with a bargraph to test its...

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.
