Kit Instructions.
Step-by-step guides for every Verdron Labs circuit kit project. Always read all instructions and safety notes before starting.
LED Project
Build a simple LED circuit using a battery, resistor, and alligator clips.
⚠️ Safety First
- Don't touch both battery terminals at the same time.
- Always include a resistor with the LED to keep your LED from breaking.
Now for the construction!
- 1
Choose the green clip resistor. Attach one of the resistor's clips to the positive (+) side of the battery. The positive side has the smaller connection.
- 2
Identify LED leads. The anode (positive) is the long lead; the cathode (negative) is the short lead.
- 3
Connect resistor to LED. Attach the other end of the resistor to the LED anode (long lead) so metal touches.
- 4
Wire the other side of the battery. Connect the cathode (shorter lead) of the LED to the bigger terminal of the battery — the negative side. Use the alligator clip lead.
- 5
You're done! The LED should turn on. If not, try turning it around and connecting each wire to the other sides.
Buzzer Project
Build a buzzer circuit with a push switch. Press the button — the buzzer sounds!
⚠️ Safety First
- Don't short battery terminals.
- Make connections secure so clips don't touch each other accidentally.
- Always use a resistor between the buzzer and one side of the 9V.
Now for the construction!
- 1
Identify the buzzer terminals. Find the positive (anode) and negative (cathode). There is a (+) next to the anode.
- 2
Connect the buzzer's positive terminal to the battery's positive terminal using an alligator clip. Make sure only the (+) side is touching.
- 3
Connect the black clip 150 Ω resistor to the negative side of the battery. The negative side is bigger, marked (−).
- 4
Connect the switch to the free end of the resistor. Clip the resistor to one terminal of the small push switch.
- 5
Connect buzzer's negative terminal to the switch using the alligator clip lead. Clip one side to the buzzer's negative terminal, the other to the free terminal of the switch.
- 6
You're Done! Press the push switch — the buzzer should sound while pressed.
