Description

Snap Circuits® uses electronic blocks that snap onto a clear plastic base grid to build different circuits. These blocks have different colors and numbers on them so that you can easily identify them. Build the circuit shown by placing all the parts with a black 1 next to them on the clear plastic base grid first. Then, assemble parts marked with a 2, then parts marked with a 3, and finally, parts marked with a 4. Note that there is a 3-snap wire between the FM module (FM) and the speaker (SP), partially hidden. Install three (3) “AA” batteries (not included) into the battery holder (B3). Turn on the slide switch (S1) and press the R button on the FM module (FM). Now press the T button and the FM module scans for a radio station. When a station is found, it locks on to it and you hear it on the speaker (SP). Adjust the volume using the adjustable resistor (RV). The resistor controls the amount of signal into the power amplifier (U4). Press the T button again for the next radio station. The module will scan up to 108MHz, the end of the FM band, and stop. You must then press the R button to reset at 88MHz again.

Color: Red
My kid had seen me playing with ham radio stuff for a while and showed a little interest in electronics. I purchased this for him and sat with him while he assembled it, seeing his eyes light up with joy was all worth it.

    • What happened to the quality ?
Color: Red
My kid was enthusiastic and happy with the kit but the new boards are a flimsy plastic and the pieces kept popping off. This was frustrating to my kid as the foundation pieces wouldn’t stay on. After an hour of digging in the closet I located a sturdy board from a kit purchase 10 years ago. Why should I buy new kits if the materials are garbage? I’m certainly not buy snap circuits to give as gifts until I’m certain the entire set is sturdy. ... show more

Weak plastic base. The regular snap Circuits sc-100 Jr set has a hard plastic base which makes it easy to snap components in. This one comes with a flimsy soft base and makes snapping components hard for the kids.
