2 Circuits Miscellaneous Circuits Little Bits Gizmos and Gadgets Little Bits consists of tiny circuit boards which snap together with a magnet. This eliminates the need for any soldering, wiring or programming as the specific functions such as light, sound, sensors, buttons, thresholds, pulse, motors etc. are represented by one bit. When you combine these modules it transforms into a circuit that can be further used to create more complex structures. Allows students artists and designers to build never before seen electronic projects with little effort. Snap Circuits, Chibitronics, Circuit Scribe.
