Make: Getting Started with littleBits

Chapter 1. littleBits Basics: Inputs and Outputs

There’s no better way to learn how to use littleBits than to jump right in and try them out. In this chapter, you’ll cover all the basics: how to power your Bits, how they connect—and you’ll look at a few of the different inputs and outputs that you can use in your projects.

• Power (blue)

• Output (green)

• Input (pink)

• Wire (orange)

Every Bit works with every other Bit in the library and it can keep growing to infinity. You can even create your own ...
