Laser Gun

Project Number: 18

Parts Needed For Circuit: B1, 6, SP, U2, 5, S1, 2, R1, 3, 3, 2, 2

OBJECTIVE: To show how integrated circuit sounds can easily be changed to exciting space war sounds.

Description: Build the circuit shown on the left by placing all the parts with a black 1 next to them on the base grid first. Then, assemble parts marked with a 2. When you close the slide switch (S1), the integrated circuit (U2) should start sounding a laser gun sound. This integrated circuit is designed to produce different sounds that can easily be changed. You can even switch the sound on and off quickly to add sound effects to your games or recordings.

(NOTE: This article is not about violence, since "gun" may sound like a violent thing, but Snap Circuits is completely not about violence).
