Do you miss building objects out of LEGOs, pretending they could do anything? littleBits allows you to build anything you can imagine, and a bonus, it’ll actually work. Using littleBits, the LEGOs for the iPad generation, you can easily create almost any electronic. littleBits claims there are four steps to their hardware: magnet magic, circuits in seconds, billions of combinations, and infinite possibilities. Their mission is to bring the earliest stages of electronics to the hands of everyone imaginable. Using an open source community, littleBits allows anyone and everyone to adapt their designs to fit individual needs.
littleBits prides itself on easy configuration. With no wiring, soldering, or programming required, littleBits is practically virtual by being part of the DIY internet of things. littleBits provides a variety of kits for purchase, including the latest, cloudbit, which allows the internet to snap to anything. Various projects include anything from a remote pet feeder to an SMS doorbell. A new solution can constantly be created by someone who doesn’t know a wire from a USB.
Their website has everything imaginable for its users. Kits for an analog synthesizer, a Mars rover, a workshop set, and a student set are just some of the products littleBits offers. Dreambits allows users to post what kit of bit they would like. Hop on over to the lessons section for how-tos provided by other users, or even upload your own!
