This includes the “codebit” that connects to your computer through wifi and stores and runs your code. Orange bits are used to transmit, split, or control signals. These are used to control your invention. ![]() The pink bits are inputs like buttons, dimmers, and even pressure sensors and sound triggers. The blue bits provide power, much like a phone or laptop charger. There are several different types of “littleBits” included in the Code Kit. You may start with a light dimmer and end with a futuristic code-powered instrument or game. Beyond the starter projects and tutorials the kit gives you everything you need to go off the rails and design something completely new. The code-interface will be familiar to users of Scratch, Blockly, or any of the other high-level coding platforms that have proliferated in the last few years. The free app is brimming with projects and tutorials to guide you on your way. The bits’ puzzle-like design makes it easy (and FUN) to experiment. The littleBits Coding Kit is one of the coolest toys I’ve ever played with, and surprisingly easy to get started. Alongside the kit comes a free downloadable app for Windows, Mac, or Chromebook that helps you write code that make your contraptions work. Each is packaged with all the pieces you need to get started, helpful documentation, and quickstart guides. ![]() We got a chance to try out the Coding kit, but there are many different kits you can explore. LittleBits uses color-coded electronic building blocks to empower anyone to invent their own gadgets. Grows: There are so many more cool parts (called Bits) not included in the kit. Follow instructions or invent your own original devices! ![]() Glows: Creatively engaging, versatile, fun to use and experiment with. ![]()
