LittleBits is the award-winning modular electronics platform that has put the power of electronics in the hands of everyone. Just snap them together-no soldering, programming, or wiring needed. No matter your age, gender or technical ability, whether you’re a young maker, an analog musician, an interaction designer, or a STEM/STEAM teacher, littleBits is the easiest way to learn and invent with electronics. Start from the very simple (lights, sounds, sensors) and invent your way to the very complex (wireless RF, programmable, cloud-connected), with billions of possible combinations. With littleBits, you can unleash your inner inventor. Written by littleBits creator Ayah Bdeir (TED Senior Fellow, co-founder of the Open Hardware Summit, MIT 35 under 35), and MAKE editor Matt Richardson, this book is the most extensive guide to the modular electronics platform that has revolutionized hundreds of thousands of makerspaces, schools, design studios and homes in over 70 countries. With Getting Started with littleBits, you’ll make: A remote-controlled car with gripper arm, An analog synthesizer to rock out with your own modular instruments, Robots that use logic to detect and navigate around walls, An electronic valentine that communicates across the world with the cloudBit, A custom mouse or game controller with the Arduino at Heart Module, Your own Bits modules with the littleBits Hardware Development Kit, Start with these projects and your journey in invention will be unstoppable. Light it, push it, move it, buzz it, blink it, shake it. Book jacket.
