Project 342

Fast Flicker

Clicker

Turn on the slide switch

(S1). Move the lever on

the adjustable resistor

(RV) around to make the

color LED (D8) flicker and

make clicking or buzzing

on the speaker (SP2).

Press keys on the

keyboard (U26) for more

fun effects. Try pressing a

blue key and a green key

at the same time, while

moving

RV’s

lever

around.

Use the preceding circuit, but replace the

1mF capacitor (C7) with the smaller 0.1mF

capacitor (C2). It works the same way, but

the tone has higher pitch, and the color

LED may appear to be on continuously.

Project 343

Slow Flicker

Clicker

Use the preceding circuit, but

replace the 1mF capacitor (C7)

with the larger 470mF capacitor

(C5). With RV set to the left,

the LED flashes and the

speaker clicks about once a

second. As you move RV’s

lever toward the right, the time

between

flashes/clicks

increases and can get very

long. Also try holding down one

of the blue keys; best effects

are when RV is set toward the

left.

Turn on the slide switch (S1) and

push the press switch (S2). You

should hear a tone; adjust its pitch

using the adjustable resistor (RV).

The tone shuts off after about 10

seconds. Push S2 again to re-start

the keyboard and its timer.
Some settings on RV may not

produce any sound. Press S2 and

set RV to where you hear sound.

Project 341

Flicker Clicker

If the speaker is buzzing

and the color LED is on

but not flashing, then the

color LED is probably

flashing so fast that it just

appears as a blur.
