How to Use Snap Circuits
®
This set contains three LED attachments,
which can be mounted on the LED modules
(D1, D6, D8, and on U22) to enhance their
light effects. The egg and tower attachments
are mounted directly on the LEDs, but the fiber
optic tree must be mounted using the
mounting base, as shown. This is described in
the projects.
In some projects, the fiber optic cable will be
mounted on the LEDs (D1, D6, D8, and on
U22) or the phototransistor (Q4). This is done
by placing the clear and black cable holders
onto the LED/phototransistor, then inserting
the fiber optic cable all the way into the holder.
For best performance the cable should stand
straight up in the holders, without bending
them. This is described in the projects.

Note:
While building the projects, be
careful not to accidentally make a direct
connection across the battery holder (a
“short circuit”), as this may damage and/or
quickly drain the batteries.
