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.

Singalong Kit Assembly Step 7 – Form Second Capacitor So that the two capacitors fit together, we bend the negative lead on this one and leave the • positive lead straight The separation of the leads should be 0.2” (5mm) •...
