Ikilọ:

• This toy is intended for use by children over the age of 8 years.
• This product contains small magnets. Swallowed magnets can stick together across intestines, causing serious injuries, infections, and death. Seek immediate medical attention if magnets are swallowed or inhaled.

3. Ohun ti o wa ninu Apoti

Your littleBits Invention Kit includes the following components, neatly organized in a durable storage bin:

• 29 Bits (various electronic modules)
• Batiri 19V (pẹlu)
• Durable Storage Bin
• Awọn kaadi Ipenija
• Various accessories for building projects

4. Eto ati Apejọ

The littleBits system is designed for quick and intuitive assembly. Follow these steps to begin your invention journey:

1. Yọ awọn ohun elo kuro: Carefully remove all bits and accessories from the storage bin. Familiarize yourself with the different types of bits (e.g., power, input, output).
2. Asopọ agbara: Connect the included 9V battery to the power bit. Ensure the connection is secure.
3. Snap Together: littleBits modules are color-coded and connect magnetically. Simply align the magnetic connectors of two bits and they will snap together. Ensure the magnets are attracting, not repelling, for a proper connection.
4. Start with Challenges: Refer to the included Challenge Cards for guided projects and ideas to get started. These cards provide step-by-step instructions for building initial circuits.

5. Operating Your littleBits Kit

The littleBits Invention Kit encourages experimentation and creative problem-solving. Here's how to operate and maximize your experience:

• Color-Coded System: The bits are color-coded to indicate their function:
  • Buluu: Power bits (supply electricity).
  • Pink: Input bits (send signals, e.g., buttons, sensors).
  • Alawọ ewe: Output bits (perform actions, e.g., lights, motors).
  • Ọsan: Wire bits (extend circuits).
• Idahun Lẹsẹkẹsẹ: The modular design provides immediate feedback. If a circuit is correctly assembled, the output bit will respond. This allows for quick iteration and learning.
• Guided Challenges: Utilize the included Challenge Cards to explore various concepts and build specific inventions. These cards offer structured learning paths.
• Open-Ended Creation: Beyond the challenges, experiment by combining different bits to create your own unique inventions. There are no limits to what you can design.
• Collaborative Learning: The kit is ideal for teamwork. Work with others to brainstorm ideas, build circuits, and troubleshoot designs.

6. Itọju ati Itọju

Proper care will ensure the longevity of your littleBits Invention Kit:

• Ibi ipamọ: Always store the bits and accessories in the provided durable storage bin when not in use. This protects them from dust and damage and keeps them organized.
• Ninu: Use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe any dust or debris from the bits. Do not use liquids or abrasive cleaners.
• Itọju Batiri: Remove the 9V battery from the power bit if the kit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage. Replace the battery when power diminishes.
• Mu pẹlu Itọju: While durable, avoid dropping or applying excessive force to the bits, as this can damage the internal electronics or magnetic connectors.

If you encounter issues with your littleBits kit, consider the following:

• No Power/Bit Not Working:
  • Ensure the 9V battery is correctly connected to the power bit and has sufficient charge.
  • Check all magnetic connections to ensure they are secure and properly aligned (magnets should attract, not repel).
  • Try isolating the problematic bit by testing it in a simple circuit (e.g., Power > Output).
• Iṣe-iṣẹ Laarin:
  • Verify that all bits are clean and free from debris that might interfere with connections.
  • Ensure the circuit is not overly complex for the power source or that there are no conflicting input signals.
• Bit Damage: If a bit appears physically damaged or consistently fails to function after troubleshooting, it may need replacement.
