Build the circuit as shown. Place the clear cable holder on
the color organ (U22) 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
fiber optic cable should stand straight up in the holders,
without bending them.The clear holder will be a loose fit.
Turn on the slide switch (S1), and blow on the microphone
or talk loudly into it. The signal from the microphone will
change the LED on the color organ, then send the light
through the fiber optic cable to the phototransistor, which
controls the red LED (D1).
Optional: Connect a music device (not included) to the
color organ as shown, and start the music on it. The music
device will control the red LED. Set the volume control on
your music device for best light effects. If you replace the
red LED with the speaker (SP), then you get sound effects
(beeping, not music).
