Bonus Motion Detector Circuits

These circuits require the motion detector parts (motion

detector U7 and 9V battery holder & switch B5) along
with the SC-300 (300 experiments) or larger parts set.

The motion detector parts are available only in the

SCP-03 Motion Detector Kit or through the replacement
parts order form. More information about these parts is
availalbe at http://www.snapcircuits.net/IC_SCP03.pdf.
You can view the manuals for the SCP-03 at
www.elenco.ws, and select SCP-03.

Project #MD1 Motion Alarm & Lights

OBJECTIVE: To signal when motion is detected in a room.

Turn on the slide switch (S1) and the

switch on the 9V battery holder (B5.)
You hear an alarm sound and see
lights for a few seconds on start-up
and then whenever the circuit detects
motion in the room.

Option A:
Replace the speaker (SP) with the
2.5V lamp (L1). The circuit works the
same way but doesn't make any
noise.

Option B:
Replace the speaker (SP) with the
whistle chip (WC) and remove the
green LED (D2). The circuit is not as
loud as before.

Option C:
Requires the motion detector parts Replace the alarm IC (U2) with the
and an SC-300 or larger parts set. music IC (U1). The circuit works the
same way but plays a different tune.
Project #MD2 Motion Music
OBJECTIVE: To signal when motion is detected in a room.

Turn the slide switch (S1) and the

switch on the 9V battery holder (B5).
You hear a musical melody on start-
up and then whenever the circuit
detects motion in the room.

Option A:
Replace the speaker (SP) with the
whistle chip (WC). Then add the
green LED (D2) across the whistle
chip on level 4 ("+" on the right),
using a 1-snap under the left side.
The circuit works the same way, but
the music is not as loud and the LED
is blinking.

Requires the motion detector parts

and an SC-300 or larger parts set.

Project #MD3 Motion Lights

OBJECTIVE: To connect multiple devices together.

Turn on the slide switch (S1) and the

switch on the 9V battery holder (B5).
The green LED (D2) turns on for a
few seconds and the red LED (D1)
turns on for longer. When the motion
sensor detects motion in the room
the LEDs turn on again.

Requires the motion detector parts

and an SC-300 or larger parts set.
Project #MD4 Daytime Motion Detector
OBJECTIVE: To signal when motion is detected in a bright room.

Turn the slide switch (S1) and the

switch on the 9V battery holder (B5).
If there is a lot of light in the room
then you hear a laser sound for a few
seconds and then whenever the
circuit detects motion in the room.
Tune the adjustable resistor (RV) to
adjust the light sensitivity of the
photoresistor (RP).

Option A:
Replace the speaker (SP) with the
whistle chip (WC). Then add the
green LED (D2) across the whistle
chip on level 3 ("+" on the right). The
circuit works the same way, but the
music is not as loud and the LED
lights.

Option B:
Replace the green LED (D2) with the
Requires the motion detector parts 2.5V lamp (L1).
and an SC-300 or larger parts set.

Project #MD5 Nightime Motion Detector

OBJECTIVE: To signal when motion is detected in a dark room.

Turn the slide switch (S1) and the

switch on the 9V battery holder (B5).
If the room is dark then you hear an
alarm sound for a few seconds and
then whenever the circuit detects
motion in the room. Tune the
A B C adjustable resistor (RV) to adjust the
light sensitivity of the photoresistor
(RP).

Option A:
Change the alarm sound by placing a
1-snap on point A and a 2-snap
across points A-B, OR a 1-snap on
point C and a 2-snap across points B-
C.

Requires the motion detector parts

and an SC-300 or larger parts set.
Project #MD6 Nightime Motion Detector (II)
OBJECTIVE: To signal when motion is detected in a dark room.

Turn the slide switch (S1) and the

switch on the 9V battery holder (B5). If
the room is dark then you hear an
siren sound for a few seconds and
then whenever the circuit detects
motion in the room. The green LED
(D2) lights when the room is dark and
A B C the motion sensor is ready. Tune the
adjustable resistor (RV) to adjust the
light sensitivity of the photoresistor
(RP).

Option A:
Change the alarm sound by placing a
1-snap on point A and a 2-snap across
points A-B, OR a 1-snap on point C
and a 2-snap across points B-C.

Requires the motion detector parts

and an SC-300 or larger parts set.

Project #MD7 Motion Space Attack

OBJECTIVE: To play sounds when motion is detected in a room.

Turn the slide switch (S1) and the

switch on the 9V battery holder (B5),
you hear a space war sound for a few
seconds. Each time the circuit
detects motion in the room it
activates a different sound, like a
space attack.

Requires the motion detector parts

and an SC-300 or larger parts set.
Project #MD8 Motion Bomber
OBJECTIVE: To signal when motion is detected in a room.

Turn the slide switch (S1) and the

switch on the 9V battery holder (B5).
You hear a bomb sound on start-up
and then whenever the circuit detects
motion in the room.

Requires the motion detector parts

and an SC-300 or larger parts set.

Project #MD9 Motion Tone

OBJECTIVE: To signal when motion is detected in a room.

Turn the slide switch (S1) and the

switch on the 9V battery holder (B5).
You hear a tone on start-up and then
whenever the circuit detects motion
in the room. Use the lever on the
adjustable resistor (RV) to adjust the
frequency of the tone.

Option A:
Replace the 0.02µF capacitor (C1)
with the 0.1µF capacitor (C2). The
sound is lower in frequency now.

Option B:
Replace 0.1µF capacitor (C2) wit the
10µF capacitor (C3, (+) side towards
the right). Now it makes a clicking
sound.
Requires the motion detector parts
and an SC-300 or larger parts set.
Project #MD10 Motion Lights (II)
OBJECTIVE: To signal when motion is detected in a room.

Turn the slide switch (S1) and the

switch on the 9V battery holder (B5).
The red LED (D1) comes on
whenever the circuit detects motion
in the room. The green LED (D2)
lights when the motion sensor is
ready to detect again.

Requires the motion detector parts

and an SC-300 or larger parts set.

Project #MD11 Motion Motor

OBJECTIVE: To signal when motion is detected in a room.

Place the fan on the motor. Turn on

the slide switch (S1) and the switch
on the 9V battery holder (B5). The
fan spins and the 2.5V lamp lights for
a few seconds, then again when
motion is detected in the room. The
6V lamp lights when the motion
sensor is ready to detect again.
