[...]... diode, and the other a light-emitting diode (the two arrows represent light leaving the device) The diode symbol shows an arrow (anode) pointing at a line (cathode), and this will indicate which way current flows (from the anode to the cathode, or in the direction of the arrow) On many small diodes, there will be a stripe painted around the case to indicate which end is the cathode, 10 and on LEDs, there... on the underside of the perforated board using some hookup wire and a soldering iron Then, it was tested with a fresh battery and the lights off If you find that the unit will not start when the lights are out, test first to ensure that there is sound output by removing the CDS cell completely, which will cause the unit to start dripping When you reinstall the CDS, the unit will stay quiet until there... to the oscillator The higher the frequency rating of the speaker, the farther the high-pitched sound will travel, which is why a two- or three-inch diameter tweeter is optimal for this project The small speakers shown in Figure 2-6 are perfect for this project, and I included a piezo buzzer as described in the last project, as it can also be used with a simple modification of the oscillator circuit The. ..

Well, there are so many possibilities I found that an empty deodorant case worked perfectly as shown in Figure 2-4 There was enough room for the battery, the piezo element, and the circuit board Owing to the extreme sensitivity of the CDS cell .
