Page 2 CONTENTS • 1 Circuitry Keyboard • 32 Connecting Wires: (10) 10cm • (10) 20cm • (10) 30cm • (2) 40cm • 1 Magnetic Rod Requires 2 “AA” 1.5V batteries (not included) INTRODUCTION Electricity is all around you. It is constantly traveling through circuits, ready to light up a room with a touch of a switch, or power your favorite video game.
Page 3 SPRING CONNECTORS To Connect Wires: Most electrical circuits have their components 1. Bend the spring over to make a connected by melted metal in a technique called gap. 2. Insert the bare wire into the gap least amount of resistance. Since you’ll be assembling and gently let the spring back.
Page 4 GLOSSARY Circuit - A series of electrical components in a closed loop that gives a return path for the electrical current. If the circuit Conductor Current negative pole to the positive creates the current. Electron - A negatively-charged subatomic particle. They play an important part in electricity, magnetism and chemistry.
Page 5 READING A CIRCUIT DIAGRAM This circuit is closed. Current This circuit is open. Current cannot Wire through the wire to the battery pass through the gap in the wire. 2 Batteries terminals, lighting up the LED. A switch has been added. The switch The switch is closed, so current can is open, so curren CIRCUIT LIST.
Page 6 WIRING SEQUENCE AND CONNECTIONS Insert the metal end of the wire into the spring connector next to the number shown on the board. Circuit 1, below, the connection sequence is; 4-12 Battery positive pole (+) to LED (+) 11-23 LED negative to Main Switch 24-3 Main Switch to Battery negative (-) When completed, the circuit connections will look like the image on the right.
Page 7 Introducing the Variable Resistor 4-24 • 23-27 • 28-6 • 5-3 Turn on the Main Switch. Now, turn the knob on the Variable Resistor. By adjusting the resistance up or down, the amount of lower the resistance, the more electricity reaches the LED and the brighter in gets.
Page 8 Introducing the Touch Plate 4-10 • 9-20 • 19-23 • 24-3 water onto the Touch Pad (see page 3). The LED will glow dimly. Water has a large resistance so only a little electricity will pass through the water and get to the LED. Mix a little salt and water and repeat the experiment.
Page 9 Three Switches, Three LEDs, Di erent Actions 24-3 After turning on the Main Switch, pressing the Push Switch, activating the Reed Switch, or doing both at the same time will cause one or more LEDs to light up. Changing Current Direction 1 Slide the Main Switch to “on”.
Page 10 Melody - Magnet Control 4-23 • 24-31-26 • 2-32 • 1-35 • 25-33 • 34-3 Turn on the Main Switch. Activate the Reed Switch with the magnet. This will cause music to play. Activating the switch again will play the next tune stored in the memory. Melody - Touch Control 4-23 •.
Page 11 Melody - Manual Control and Flashing LED 4-23 • 24-31-22-6 • 2-32 • 1-35 • 5-30 33-21 • 34-3 Slide the Main Switch to “on”. Press the Push Switch to play music next tune. Melody - Magnet Control and Adjustable Volume 28-2 •.
Page 12 Piano SPK1 SPK2 Turn on the Main Switch. The piano is ready to LED1 POT1 play. LED2 DID YOU KNOW? LED3 POT2 LED4 The piano includes two full octaves (8 notes each). Middle C is the 8th key from the left. LED5 Piano - Magnetic Switch SPK1.
Page 13 Piano with LEDs and Multiple Switches 4-23 • 25-10 • 21-8 • 24-22-26-6-40 • 39-38 • 37-2 • 1-36 • 41-5-9-7-3 Turn on the Main Switch. The Red LED SPK1 will light up. The piano is ready to play. SPK2 Activate the other switches to turn the LED1 POT1.
Page 14 Piano with Keyboard-Activated LED 4-23 • 24-12-40 • 39-38 • 37-2 • 1-36 • 11-46 • 41-3 Turn on the Main Switch. Whenever a piano key is pressed, the Green LED will light up. SPK1 SPK2 LED1 POT1 LED2 LED3 POT2 LED4 LED5.
Page 15 Piano with Keyboard-Activated LED and Volume Control Slide the Main Switch to “on”. Whenever a piano key is pressed, the Red LED will light up. The piano’s volume can be SPK1 controlled with the Variable SPK2 Resistor. LED1 POT1 LED2 LED3 POT2 LED4.
Page 16 Piano with Four Groups of Keyboard-Activated LEDs and Brightness Control 4-23 • 24-28-40 • 39-38 • 37-2 • 1-36 • 29-12-10-8-6 • 5-42 • 7-43 • 9-44 • 11-45 • 41-3 Turn on the Main Switch. Whenever a piano key is played an LED will light up. Each set of four keys is grouped with an LED and their brightness can be adjusted by turning the knob on the Variable Resistor.
