is not responsible for parts damaged due to incorrect wiring.
®
If you suspect you have damaged parts, you can follow
this procedure to systematically determine which ones
need replacing:
2.5V lamp (L1), motor (M1), speaker (SP2), and battery
1.
holder (B1):
directly across the battery holder, it should light. Do the same
with the motor (motor + to battery +), it should spin to the right
at high speed. "Tap" the speaker across the battery holder
contacts, you should hear static as it touches. If none work,
then replace your batteries and repeat, if still bad then the
battery holder is damaged.
Jumper wires:
2.
to test each jumper wire, the lamp
should light.
Snap wires:
3.
to test each of the snap wires, one
at a time. The lamp should light.
Slide switch (S1) and Press switch (S2):
4.
the lamp (L1) doesn't light then the slide switch is bad. Replace
the slide switch with the press switch to test it.
100W resistor (R1) and color LED (D8):
5.
except initially use the speaker (SP2) in place of the resistor,
the color LED should light. Then replace the speaker with the
resistor; the LED should still light.
Place batteries in holder. Place the 2.5V lamp

(Adult supervision recommended)
Alarm IC (U2):
6.
Then make the variants in projects 111-113 to get the sounds
described there.
Music IC (U1):
7.
tune should play for a short time and then stop. Push the press
switch (S2) and music should play until you release S2. Spin
the motor (M1) top with your fingers and you should hear a
short tune.
Space war IC (U3) and phototransistor (Q4):
8.
#21, both switches (S1 and S2) should change the sound.
Then replace the slide switch with the phototransistor, covering
and uncovering it as described in project 22 it should change
the sound.
You may order additional / replacement parts
Build project #110, you should hear a siren.
Build project #6. Turn on the switch (S1). A
