littleBits Bargraph
$23.59 ex GST
The bargraph is one of littleBits favourite Bits: The bargraph shows you how much signal the Bit is receiving with a display of 5 light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in different colours. Try it with a pressure sensor to make your own strength-o-meter.
littleBits Bright LED
$20.86 ex GST
The littleBits bright LED (or "Light-Emitting Diode") is a small module that puts out a big light. Just like our other LED modules, it's a great way to shed some light on your creations. Choose the bright LED when you want a LOT of bright white light.
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.
littleBits Buzzer
$24.50 ex GST
The buzzer Bit is just what it sounds like: it makes a noise that you just can't ignore. It buzzes whenever it gets an ON signal. Try using it to make your own doorbell or alarm!
littleBits DC Motor Tethered
$45.41 ex GST
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.
littleBits Fan + Universal Mount
$32.68 ex GST
The littleBits fan Bit is just what you'd think: a small electric fan tethered to a littleBits module. It's great for those hot summer nights. Use our little fan to create fluttering movement in your creations or just to keep yourself cool.
littleBits IR LED
$20.86 ex GST
The littleBits 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. It’s invisible to the eye, but many digital cameras can see it! Try using it to activate the light sensor or remote trigger.
littleBits LED
$18.14 ex GST
The littleBits LED (or "Light-Emitting Diode") Bit is a very small board that shines a nice green light. It's our go-to when you want to light something up.
littleBits Long LED
$20.86 ex GST
The littleBits long LED (or "Light-Emitting Diode") Bit is another lighting option. We call it the "long" LED because the light is tethered to the board by a cable. This lets you put the light in some interesting places: one of our favourite tricks is to place the LED in the middle of a foam ball to make it glow!
littleBits Number Plus
$49.95 ex GST
The number module displays information about the signal it’s receiving from your other modules. It features a two-digit, seven-segment LED display. In the “read” mode, the module displays information about the signal it’s receiving. In the “count” mode, the module counts up or down with each trigger. The counter can be reset by receiving a trigger at the reset bitSnap.
Geek Speak
This updated number module has 2 main modes and 2 settings under each mode. Use the 4-position switch to choose between the modes.
READ MODE: Read mode has two settings: values and volts. The number module reads the voltage on the input bitsnap, then calculates and displays either a value between 00-99 or a voltage between 0.0 - 5.0. The voltage on the output bitsnap is a filtered PWM value that equals the voltage on the input bitsnap.
COUNT MODE: Count mode has two settings: up (from 00-99) and down (from 99-00). A step to the next number happens on input low-to-high transitions. The voltage on the output bitsnap is a filtered PWM value that is proportional to the number on display. For example, if the displayed number is 50 then the output voltage is 50% of 5V, or 2.5V. The RESET bitsnap can be used in this mode to reset the number on display. In the "up" setting, the display resets to "00". In the "down" setting, the display resets to "99". The RESET bitsnap resets the number on low-to-high transitions.
Under the Hood
An Atmega168 is used to constantly read the signal from the switch and determine which mode the module is in. It also reads the buffered signal from the input bitsnap, and sends a PWM signal through a Sallen key filter to the output bitsnap. In "read" mode, the signal from the input bitsnap is passed from the ADC pin to the PWM output. In "count" mode, a step to a new number is triggered on a low-to-high pin-change interrupt on the ADC pin. A PWM lookup table is used to output the corresponding PWM value. The reset is also triggered on a low-to-high transition. The Atmega168 also controls the seven-segment LED display to display the correct value.
littleBits RGB LED
$20.86 ex GST
The RGB LED (or "Red-Green-Blue Light-Emitting Diode") Bit is a special light whose colour you can adjust. Use the included screwdriver to adjust each of the colour channels to get almost any colour. Use the RGB LED when you want to match the light to the colour of your creation!
littleBits Servo
$49.95 ex GST
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!
Cross Axle: This servo has a cross axle shaft that works with any littleBits accessory with a cross axle opening.
Hub Mount: Note that this bit is NOT compatible with the following kits. - Space Rover Inventor Kit - Cross axle mechanical arm (not available separately) - Cross axle motorMate (not available separately)
littleBits Synth Speaker
$45.41 ex GST
The synth speaker amplifies your sonic explorations! You can control the volume with a dial at the front of the module. It also features an output jack that you can connect to headphones, an amplifier, or a computer. The speaker is connected with 3M™ Dual Lock™ so it can be removed from the circuit board. To reattach, simply press together firmly.
littleBits UV LED
$20.86 ex GST
The littleBits UV LED (or "UltraViolet Light-Emitting Diode") Bit sends out a special kind of light. It looks purple to the eye, but it has some special abilities, like making white fabrics and certain inks glow in the dark. If you have a pen that writes in UV-sensitive ink, you can use it to reveal secret messages.
littleBits Vibration Motor
$23.59 ex GST
The vibration motor is very similar to the device that makes your cellphone shake when you get a text. With this module, you can make anything vibrate and buzz! This module also includes the vibeSnap-- an accessory that helps you attach stuff - like paper, tin foil, or a pipecleaner - to the motor.
