LittleBits Electronics cloudBit Starter Kit

littleBits cloudBit Starter Kit for Internet-connected devices

The littleBits cloudBit Starter Kit is a starter kit that allows you to create Internet-connected devices by combining littleBits electronic modules with the cloudBit, the central module that acts as a bridge between the physical circuits and the network. It connects via Wi-Fi and allows you to control or receive data from circuits remotely, from the same room or from anywhere in the world. The kit is compatible with the entire littleBits module library and integrates with the IFTTT service to automate actions with web services such as Gmail, Facebook or Twitter, or with connected devices such as Nest or Philips HUE. A cloud API and compatibility with the Arduino module allow for more advanced customisation.

cloudBit Wi-Fi kit with sound, button, servo and LED modules, compatible with IFTTT, cloud API and the entire littleBits library to create connected devices without soldering.

What the littleBits cloudBit Starter Kit lets you create and automate

• The cloudBit connects any littleBits circuit to the internet via Wi-Fi
• Remotely control your circuits from anywhere in the world
• Automation with IFTTT to link your circuits to Gmail, Facebook, Twitter, Nest, Philips HUE and other services
• Compatible with the entire library of existing littleBits modules
• Cloud API available for advanced customisation via code
• Compatibility with the Arduino module for more advanced programming
• Complete, ready-to-use kit with all the modules you need to get started

You assemble the littleBits modules without soldering or electronic tools: the cloudBit connects to your Wi-Fi network and your circuit becomes immediately accessible from your phone or browser. You can trigger a physical action remotely, receive a notification when a sensor is activated, or automate sequences via IFTTT without writing a single line of code.

Frequently asked questions about the littleBits cloudBit Starter Kit

Do I need any knowledge of electronics to use this kit?
No. littleBits modules snap together magnetically without soldering or complex wiring. Automation via IFTTT requires no programming. The cloud API and Arduino module are optional for those who wish to take things further.

Is the included mains adapter compatible with European sockets?
The included adapter has a US plug. You will need an EU plug adapter if you wish to use it with a European wall socket.

Is the kit compatible with other littleBits modules purchased separately?
Yes. The cloudBit is compatible with the entire littleBits module library, allowing you to expand the kit with additional modules.
