OBJECTIVE: To build a circuit that uses a programmed sound
integrated circuit (IC).
Space War Sounds
with LED
Project #276
OBJECTIVE: To build an LED fan rotation indicator.
Place the fan onto the motor (M1). Turn the slide switch (S1) on. The
fan rotates clockwise, the green LED (D2) and the lamp (L1) light.
When you connect the positive (+) side of the battery (B1) to the
positive (+) side of the motor, it spins clockwise. Turn the slide switch
off and press the press switch (S2). Now the fan spins the other way
and the red LED (D1) and lamp light. The positive (+) side of the
battery is connected to the negative (–) side of the motor. The polarity
on the motor determines which way it rotates. Notice that the lamp
lights in both polarities.

WARNING: Moving parts. Do not touch the fan or
motor during operation.
Build the circuit shown on the left, which uses the space war integrated
circuit (U3). Turn the slide switch (S1) on. A space war sound plays,
and the LED (D1) flashes. If there is no light on the photoresistor (RP)
then the sound will stop after a while.
You also make sounds by pressing the press switch (S2). See how
many sounds are programmed into the space war sound IC.
