Elenco Snap Circuits Motion - Manual (Page 19)

Snap Circuits ® uses electronic blocks that snap onto a clear
plastic grid to build different circuits. These blocks have different
colors and numbers on them so that you can easily identify them.
Build the circuit shown on the left by placing all the parts with a
black 1 next to them on the board first. Then, assemble parts
marked with a 2. Install two (2) “AA” batteries (not included) into
each of the battery holders (B1) if you have not done so already.
Turn on the slide switch (S1) and watch the light show! For best
effects, dim the room lights.
Never touch the fan while it is spinning.

WARNING: Moving parts. Do not
touch the fan during operation.

Build the circuit and turn on the slide switch (S1). The color LED (D8)
lights for a few seconds on start-up, and then whenever the circuit
detects motion, feels vibration, or is tilted in some directions.

Show
Use the preceding circuit, but
replace one of the battery holders
(B1) with a 3-snap wire. The circuit
works the same but is much
dimmer, giving some interesting
effects. For best effects, view in a
dimly lit room.

Placement Level Numbers
The fan on the light motor has
several LEDs, similar to the
ones in the D8 & D10 LEDs.
Electricity is transported
through the motor shaft to
power the LEDs.
