I got an electronic kit just in time for
my birthday so in this project let’s
open it up and explore some of the
things we can do with little bits to
start this project I’m using the cloud
bit starter kit and a little bit ‘space
kit opening it up you can see all kinds
of sensors switches and motors including
this little power module that hooks to a
USB cable or a 9-volt battery for power
each little module has magnets built
into the end so you can’t connect them
the wrong way instead they click
themselves into position for you making
simple circuit building a snap now if we
connect an LED to the end of the button
module you can see that in less than 5
seconds we’ve made a flashlight that
works each time we press the button if
we switch out the button with the sound
trigger module we can turn on the light
with a snap or a clap alright let’s take
this to the next level with the cloud
bit module this little piece snaps just
about anything to the internet and
you’ll see how it works in just a second
now if we bring in a remote trigger and
this owl puppet I found laying in the
kid’s playroom we can build a secret
circuit to monitor the kids
first off let’s cut a small hole in the
feathers just big enough to expose the
remote sensor this little device is
going to let us know when someone’s
using a remote control so let’s snap
some wires to either side of the sensor
then snap it to the cloud bit module
making this circuit Wi-Fi compatible I
chose to snap my circuit to a mounting
board for convenience and added a little
bit of duct tape to keep the 9-volt
battery beside the circuit our remote
detector circuit is complete and now all
we have to do is hide it you can see the
sensor hides pretty well on the forehead
and to get it all working all we need to
do is throw the power switch all right
let’s go ahead and tuck everything
inside the puppet so it’s snug and
secure and completely concealed now I
set this one beside the TV in our kids
playroom because our kids are in the
habit of sneaking up to watch TV after
we’ve gone to bed the difference now is
that when they press any button on the
remote the sensor in the puppet triggers
a circuit and sends a text message to my
phone letting us know that some little
body is watching TV I also found these
could be used to detect a thief
I made this circuit in less than 10
seconds by replacing the remote sensor
with a light sensor and an LED when the
light sensor is covered you can see the
circuit goes into standby mode the
reactivates when light hits it again
I tried taping this inside my safe along
with a little note for any would-be
intruder and if you watch carefully you
can see that when the door closes the
LED shuts off and the circuit switches
to standby now if anyone gets inside the
safe it lights up scaring away a
potential thief and sending an alert
that someone just opened your safe now
there are over a million circuit
combinations that you could make with
these snap together circuits and for one
final project I tried connecting a
little bit’s AC switch in line with a
small space heater the circuit uses an
infrared transmitter to activate the
switch which can be done remotely by
setting a few simple commands on if calm
so now instead of heating an empty house
all day simply send a text message on
your way home from work to turn on the
heater this way you’ll save energy and
still come home to a nice warm room well
there are a few projects I tried with a
little bit’s electronics kit to solve
some everyday challenges and learn more
about electronics in the process well
that’s it for now if you liked this
project perhaps you’ll like some others
check them out at the king of random
calm it’s time to give the gift of geek
hey guys I’m sure you can tell this
video was in collaboration with little
bits and I asked them it’s and let me do
a contest so I give away a kit for free
and they agreed so click here to enter
your name for the drawing and in about a
week I’ll randomly choose a winner and
email you to see which kits you want
they’ve got a deluxe kit if you’re a kid
hobbyist or tinkerer synth kits for
creating music Arduino coding kits for
aspiring programmers and even smart home
kits that connect your appliances to the
Internet there’s basically a kit you
could get for anyone including yourself
and if you need any help finding the
right gift for friends or family check
out the Holiday Gift Guide at little
bits comm you can also use the promo
code the king of random to get $20 off a
qualifying order and free shipping in
the US thanks for watching and if you
want to check out some more electronic
related project videos take a look at
the ones over here otherwise I’ll see
you in the next project video bye
