About

littleBits, a growing library of preassembled circuitboards, made easy by tiny magnets!

littleBits is an opensource library of discrete electronic components pre-assembled in tiny circuit boards. Just as Legos allow you to create complex structures with very little engineering knowledge, littleBits are simple, intuitive, space-sensitive blocks that make prototyping with sophisticated electronics a matter of snapping small magnets together. With a growing number of available modules, littleBits aims to move electronics from late stages of the design process to its earliest ones, and from the hands of experts, to those of artists, makers and designers.

Stay tuned, design files, schematics and instructions will be online when we are done manufacturing.

Get on the littleBits mailing list below to keep updated, and give us comments and feedback, we love it!

Coffeemaker video: Make me a coffee maker
How do you prototype a product with littleBits? This video shows how control placement, interaction, behavior and overall experience of a coffeemaker is sketched and designed with littleBits
