Always remove
your battery when
working on your
circuit to avoid
damaging your
components.
Installing Your Battery
Once all your pieces are connected with conductive thread, your
finished circuit needs a power source. Install your coin cell battery,
positive (+) side up, into the battery holder.

Testing Your Finished Circuit
Switch your circuit on and see what it can do! If the circuit fails to work, you may
have a short, a loose connection, a reversed component, or even something as simple
as a dead battery. Check out the Troubleshooting section on page 70.
When you turn on the
battery holder switch,
current flows through
the conductive thread to
the other parts of your
circuit. Learn more on
page 21.
