What's in the box?

  

1. PCB 

2. Screwdriver

3. Coin battery

4. Acrylic casings

5. LEDs  

6. Plastic bolts

7. Plastic standoffs

 

 You’ll need to break one large acrylic piece from the kit to get a bunch of smaller casings.    Warning: Be careful when breaking to avoid damaging the parts you need.    In the end, you’ll have ten separate pieces of acrylic casings. If you have excessive acrylic in the holes on the casings, simply push it out.

This is what your casings should look like:   Remove the protective foil from both sides of the casings now.     After removing the foil, the casings should be transparent.    Now, we can start with the assembly!  Now is the time to take the round casing and place it on Artemis.     Then, take the casings representing Artemis’ arms, eight plastic bolts, and eight standoffs.    The photo above shows the exact arrangement of the casings.  Take one casing and one bolt. Put the casing representing the arm on the main casing and PCB. Hold all three casings and the PCB together as shown in the photo to make it easier to insert the bolt.    Put the bolts on the front and the standoffs in the back.      Fasten the standoff using your fingers.  Now, we have assembled one side of Artemis:    Artemis should look like this after you put all the casings on it:    Put whichever LEDs you like on Artemis. Pay attention to the polarity of the LEDs as you connect them. If you flip Artemis around, you’ll notice the + and - signs next to each connector. Those represent the polarity. Plus and minus signs on the LED are marked with cut-off (-) and rounded (+) parts on the LED.    Push the on/off switch and check if the LEDs are lighting up. Take them out and invert them if they don’t light up.    After you’ve inserted all the LEDs, they’ll light up in the circle one after the other.  

   

You can now see how the decade counter functions. To adjust the speed of the counter, you can use the potentiometer located on Artemis’ back. You can adjust it by twisting the potentiometer with a screwdriver.   We hope you enjoyed putting Artemis together and learned something new.  Connect it to the CircuitMess BIT and unlock a new game!   *BIT is sold separately
