The Snap Circuits

®

Kit uses electronic blocks that snap onto a clear plastic

base grid to build different circuits. These blocks have different colors and
numbers on them so that you can easily identify them.

Install six (6) “AA” batteries into the bottom of
the Rover body and one 9V•battery into the
remote control unit (batteries not included).
Install the antenna into the remote control unit
by screwing it in. Place the base grid on the
Rover body; you may lock it into position by
turning the hexagonal alignment posts (shown
here), if desired.

Build the circuit shown by placing all the parts with a black 1 next to them
on the clear plastic base grid first. Then, assemble parts marked with a 2,
and finally the parts marked with a 3. Be sure to place the U8 (green), RX1
(red), D4 (black), and W1 (clear) parts with their (+) side oriented as shown.
Connect the colored jumper wires to the rear of the body as shown (the
colors are interchangeable). Set the channel switches on the remote control
unit and R/C Receiver module (RX1) to the same setting (A, B, or C).

Turn on the slide switch (S1), the LED (D4) shines. Turn on the remote
control unit, extend the antenna, and use the levers to drive the Rover
around. The left button on the remote control activates the horn (W1).

You can use Snap Rover

®

in a dark room since the LED (D4) is positioned

as a headlight. Spin Snap Rover

®

around and use caution when backing up.
