littleBits motorMate D Shaft

Keep your circuit intact and move it around with ease with our mounting boards.

The proximity sensor Bit senses objects in front of it. It can sense if an object is far or near. Try using it to create your own self-navigating car, or a hands-free instrument!

The RGB LED (or "Red-Green-Blue Light-Emitting Diode") Bit is a light with adjustable color. You can use the sliders to create your own custom color mix of red, green, and blue.

The DC (or "direct current") motor rotates a small cross axle shaft you can attach anything to. It also works with all littleBits accessories that have cross axle openings. Try attaching a wheel! Use it to spin, turn, twist, and roll.

The number Bit displays information that it receives from the Bits before it. It's a great way to measure the input from sensors or count things, like the score in a game.

The split lets you connect a single Bit to 2 others. If you place an input before the split, it will control the 2 outputs at once, like a single light sensor controlling 2 motors (to spin car wheels!). The flexible wires on the split also allow you to place your Bits farther apart and position them how you like.

The envelope modifies the loudness contour of a sound. It takes a sound input and shapes it into something you'd hear from an acoustic musical instrument, like a piano or saxophone.

Use this Bit to control your circuits with light. The amount of light shining on the sensor will change how your circuit behaves. It's a great way to activate your circuit without hands, and is perfect for alarms!
