The sound trigger Bit responds to sound. That means, you can activate your circuit without even touching it. When you make a noise, the sound trigger sends an ON signal to the Bits that follow it. You can adjust the sound trigger to respond to different ranges of sound. You can use the little purple screwdriver to do this. If you turn the screwdriver all the way to the right (+), you will make your sound sensor super sensitive. At this setting, the softest whisper will activate your circuit. The sound trigger will hear everything — your secrets are not safe! If you adjust the sensitivity all the way to the left (-), the sound sensor will not be very sensitive at all. Only super loud noises will activate your circuit now. littleBits makes an expanding library of modular electronics that snap together with magnets. Bits modules are just the beginning. Combine them with craft materials, building sets, and other toys to electrify your life. Find out more at littleBits.com
