OBJECTIVE: To build a remote control vehicle with sounds and
lights.
Jupiter Jumble
Build the circuit and connect the jumper wires as
shown. Turn on the remote control unit and the slide
switches (S1). Use the remote control levers to drive
Rover around and adjust the tone sounds using the
knobs on the sound & recording IC (U9). The white
LED (D4) will be flashing on some settings.
Press the buttons on the remote control to change
the tones.
OBJECTIVE: To look at the gears.
Flip the Rover body so it is upside down and connect the jumper wires
to the body and slide switch (S1) as shown. Turn on the switch to watch
the wheels and gears move.
Notice that the smaller gears are spinning much faster than the larger
gears and wheels. The smallest gears (on the motor) are actually
spinning 128 times faster than the wheels. See page 6 for more
information about the gears.
Option A: Swap the connection points of the gray and orange jumper
wires on the Rover rear. Now the wheels and gears spin in the
opposite direction.
