3) How the Solar and Gearbox Modules work together:
Now that the Gearbox and Solar Modules are completed we
can put them together and start making some of the toys.
a) The first step is removing the ends off the wires from the
solar module. The wires are already partially stripped but
left in place for safety. While holding the wire and the
stripped piece twist the stripped piece and gently pull it off.
It should come off easily. Remove both pieces of stripped
ends.
b) Bend over the spring terminal on the solar module and
insert the wires (remember to observe the correct colors)
through them to protrude out the other side. Release the
spring terminal gently. The wires from the gearbox should
be securely in place to form a good connection. If they are
loose repeat the process until they are firmly in place.
Ensure that the wires don't touch as this will cause a short
circuit and the motor will not turn.
Different Toy Assembly Instructions:
1.Solar Windmill.
a) Start by collecting all the parts needed for the Solar
Windmill as shown in the requirements list. Assemble the
base of the windmill by attaching the feet (A1) to base
(C24) as shown in step 1.
b) Now place the main mast(C27) and holding bracket(D32)
in place.
c) In step 2 take the gearbox B and attached the solar
module by using bracket(B4). Then the windmill blades
can be attached.
d) Place the gearbox and windmill assembly on the tower.
The wires can now be connected from the gearbox to the
solar module. Ensure the polarity is connected as in step 3.
e) This completes the Solar Windmill.
2.Solar Robot
a) Start by collecting all the parts needed for the Solar Robot
as shown in the requirements list. We will start with the
body of the robot. Connect (D28) and (D29) to the body
(B16). Now connect the mounting bracket for the solar
module (B4).
b) In step two we assemble the head using (D30) and (D31).
Once the head is made it can be mounted on the
body(step 2).
c) Using the gearbox A connect the wheels (B14) and support
brackets B12 and B15(Step 3).
