CLICK OF DEATH!!!!

@bartoszbudecki1 11001100 There's nothing "in" 8 bits. A bit is the smallest unit of information. True, false, one, zero, on, off.

It's not that useful to toggle bits, so instead, we work with their larger cousin, the byte.

@deaftodd

It *can* be one byte, it just depends on what computer.

Usually a byte is 8-bits.

Umm what is it meant to do???? It's doing nothing.

[matzo33333]

@rossyallen2 you're thinking of bits. there are 8 bits in a byte.

It Took 4 Years to Boot Up into Windows XP! now try and move the mouse...

[rossyallen2]

@deaftodd wouldn't that work out as 6 bytes? its got six black lines which is six on/offs and 6 1/0's

forgive me if my view on bytes is incorrect.

If you put this in a sort of case, take the usb module and hard drive out of an external hard drive and hide it underneath the model, then use the light sensor to control on and off whenever the read/write light comes on, and you have made it functional in a way.

@deaftodd but already 6 bits
