    How To Use It Install six “AA” batteries (not included) into the bottom of the Rover There is also a 1-snap wire that is used as a spacer or for body and one 9V•battery (not included) into the remote control unit. interconnection between different layers.

  • Page 5: About Your Snap Circuits Parts

    About Your Snap Circuits ® Parts Warning to Snap Circuits ® owners: Do not use parts from other Snap Circuits ® sets with this kit. The Snap Rover ® uses higher voltage which could damage those parts. Page 22 and our website www.snapcircuits.net has approved circuits that you can use. (Part designs are subject to change without notice).

  • Page 15 Project #9 Slow Turn-Off OBJECTIVE: To show how capacitors slow things down. Build the circuit, place the base grid on the Rover body, and connect the jumper wires as shown. Turn the swtch (S1) on and the LED is on. Turn the switch off, and the LED•goes out slowly.
  • Page 16 Project #11 Sound & Light OBJECTIVE: To build a circuit with sound and light. Build the circuit, place the base grid centered on the Rover body, and connect the jumper wires as shown. Turn on the switch (S1) and electricity flows from the batteries through the circuit.
  • Page 17 Project #13 Slow R/C Flashlight OBJECTIVE: To build a remote control light. Build the circuit shown and turn on the slide switch (S1). Turn on the remote control unit, extend the antenna, and press the left button. The LED (D4) turns on and off slowly.
  • Page 18 Project #15 When More Are Less OBJECTIVE: To compare types of circuits. Build the circuit and connect the jumper wires as shown. The LED•(D4) will be on but the resistor is limiting the electricity through it. Turn on the switch (S1) to place three other resistors in parallel with the first one.
  • Page 19 Project #17 Pencil Buzz OBJECTIVE: To draw a missing component. Build the circuit at left and connect the jumper wires to it, but leave the loose ends of the green and purple jumpers unconnected for now. There is one more part you need and you are going to draw it. Take a pencil (No. 2 lead is best but other types will also work).
  • Page 20 Project #19 Water Detector OBJECTIVE: To show how water conducts electricity. Build the circuit at left and connect the jumper wires to it, but leave the loose ends of the green and yellow jumpers lying on the table initially. Turn on the slide switch (S1) - the LED (D4) will be dark because the air separating the jumpers has very high resistance.
