Build the circuit as shown. Place the clear cable holder on the white

LED (D6) and the black cable holder on the phototransistor (Q4),

then place the fiber optic cable into the holders as far as it will go.

For best performance the cable should stand straight up in the

holders, without bending them.
Turn on the lower slide switch (S1) and press some of the green

keys on the keyboard (U26). Then turn on the upper slide switch

to activate the fiber optic cable, and also press some of the green

keys.
Next, replace the color LED (D8) with the photoresistor (RP) and

vary the light shining on it. Turn on both S1 switches and press

some of the green keys.
