  • Page 2 Snap Circuits ® uses building blocks with snaps to assemble real electronic circuits. Each block has a function: switch, light, battery, different length wire blocks, and more! With easy-to-follow simply snap together to create working circuits! project manual, Table of Content...
  • Page 3 Long Light Project 1: •Build the circuit shown by placing all the parts with a black 1 next to them on the clear plastic base grid first. Then, place parts marked with a 2. Then place the part marked with a 3. Set the Meter (M6) to the 5V setting and turn on the Slide switch (S1).
  • Page 4 Project 3: Best Charging Circuits •Your Rechargeable Battery (B4) will need to be recharged often; it can be charged with a USB connection or with solar light using any of these circuits. The USB POWER light on B4 comes on when it is charging through the USB.
  • Page 5 Solar Power Project 5: •Place all the parts with a black 1 next to them on the green plastic base grid first, then parts marked with a 2, then the part marked with a 3. The red/yellow LED (D10) may be connected in either direction. •Place the circuit so the solar cell is in bright sunlight or close to an incandescent light bulb.
  • Page 6 Project 8: Solar & Battery •Build the circuit, set the Meter (M6) to the 50mA setting, and turn on the slide Switch (S1). The Motor (M4) and fan spin, the Red/Yellow LED (D10) lights, the Melody IC (U32) plays a tune, and the meter measures the current from the Battery (B4).
  • Page 7 Project 10: Voltage Adder •Set the meter (M6) to the 0.5mA or 50mA setting and turn on the Switch (S1). Place the Solar Cell (B7) in bright sunlight or near an incandescent lamp. If the light is bright enough, the Red/Yellow LED (D10) will be bright and the Melody IC (U32) will play a tune.
  • Page 8 Moving Voltage Project 12: •Build the circuit and set the Meter (M6) to the 5V setting. Place the wind fan on the Motor (M4). Turn on the Switch (S1). The LED (D10) lights, the Melody IC (U32) makes a distorted sound, the fan spins, and the meter shows the voltage across the motor.

    Project 14: Motor •Build the circuit shown. Set the Meter (M6) to the 50mA setting and place the wind fan on the Motor (M4). Turn on the slide switch (S1) and watch the current on the meter as the motor speeds up. •Do you know why the current drops as the fan speeds up? 50mA Project 15:...
  • Page 10 Box Cover Circuit Project 18: •This project combines several circuits to demonstrate what you can do with Green Energy Lab. This circuit may be shown on your box Snap Circuits ® or manual cover.

  • Page 11: Basic Troubleshooting

    Basic Troubleshooting The battery (B4) will only work if it is charged. Project 3 shows how to recharge it. Most circuit problems are due to incorrect assembly, always double-check that your circuit exactly matches the drawing for it. Be sure that parts with positive/negative markings are positioned as per the drawing.
