LittleBits Arduino

Easily integrate programming into your littleBits circuits! Enjoy all the perks of Arduino without the hassle of breadboarding, soldering, or wiring. Just plug it into your computer, snap the necessary modules together, and start programming. You can focus on writing code while we handle the electronics. Build with 10 beginner - friendly sketches like Analog Pong and Tone Libraries, and access hundreds more from the Arduino community. Create code in the Arduino™ programming environment and communicate with software such as Processing, MaxMSP, and Flash. Connect modules using our bitSnap™ magnetic connector with 3 inputs, 3 outputs, and additional I/O for advanced hardware interaction. Get support from both the Arduino and littleBits communities. Note: The Arduino At Heart module needs a power module (not included). If you're new to littleBits, start with the Arduino Starter Bundle. If you already have a kit, you're good to go.

Using the LittleBits Arduino is super easy. First, plug it into your computer. Then, snap together the modules you need using the bitSnap™ magnetic connector. Once everything is connected, you can start programming in the Arduino™ programming environment. You can create all sorts of projects with the 10 included starting sketches and get more inspiration from the Arduino community. When it comes to communicating with other software like Processing or MaxMSP, just follow the normal procedures for that software. Remember, the Arduino At Heart module won't work without a power module, which isn't included in the package. If you're new to littleBits, it's a good idea to get the Arduino Starter Bundle. As for maintenance, keep the modules clean and store them in a dry place. Avoid dropping or exposing them to extreme temperatures. That way, your LittleBits Arduino will last a long time and keep you creating amazing projects.
