The littleBits Bluetooth Low Energy Bit (marked BLE on your Bit) is the easiest way to control your inventions wirelessly from any smart device (like a phone or tablet). All you need is the littleBits Invent app and this Bit to move motors on wireless vehicles or trigger buzzers for pranks. You can also use your circuit to control functions on your device like triggering the camera to take a picture.
