FIGURE 7-16. Activating the SMS action channel


Pull the cloudBit away from the USB power module; this will power it off. Connect the
button module to the power module, and then connect the cloudBit on the right side of the
button module. The project should now look like Figure 7-18.
Press the button and you should get an SMS on your cell phone, as shown in Figure 7-19.
Even though we forgot to add in the button module initially, our oversight was easy to fix
by simply plugging in the module afterward. We didn’t have to take any additional steps with
reconfiguring cloudBit or reprogramming our recipe. This makes littleBits a powerful proto-
typing platform.
