Singalong Kit Assembly

 

 

Thank you for purchasing the Singalong Kit to accompany the McRoboFace “emoticon”. This kit will 

allow you to build the breadboard to work with Robin Newman’s project from 

this link

 

Note that we have used different components from the project shown in the link above, but the 

circuit is the same and easier to assemble. 

 

Step 1 – Check you Have All Components 

 

 

400-point Breadboard 

 

1m Audio lead (white) 

 

Audio splitter lead (black) 

 

Strip of 10 dupont cables, 30cm 

 

Red jumper wire 

 

Black jumper wire 

 

Audio cable to breadboard connector PCBA 

 

12mm Tact switch 

 

10K breadboard-friendly trim pot 

 

10K resistor (Bands are Brown, Black, Orange) 

 

2 x 47uF capacitors 

 

Step 2 – Plug in the Audio Connector PCBA
