We are Going To Use A On/Off Switch

Four our Bristle Bot, we are going to solder the connections, and use a Battery holder and a Slide switch.

Parts List

• Toothbrush

• small slide switch

• CR2032 battery holder

• CR 2032 3v battery

• 2 LEDs

• 1 20-100 ohm Resistor (20 ohms will give about 14 mA)

• Double sides tape

• Pipe cleaners (for Stability)

• Googley Eyes (for Bling)

Circuit Diagram - With and Without LED

Next:

After you have a working circuit, where the battery holder is soldered on to the slide switch and then to the motor... Test it out with a battery.  If that is working, then move on to the "Bling" part of the Bristle Bot project.

Bling:

Next you will attach your Circuit to the Toothbrush head.

Materials:

• Toothbrush (cut off the head)

• Double sided tape (cut about 3 Centimeters)

• Some cut
