Chapter 14, Smart Circuits
Counter
Counts things pushing past its flap, and switches its power on when the count is reached.
How it works
- It counts loose things that push past its flap, in either direction.
- Lamps on its head light up one by one. When the count is reached, it switches its colour's power on for good.
- Things must push the flap aside. A ball that is too slow stops and rolls back.
- Water does not count. A wind-up toy drives straight through.
Tips
- Give slow balls some speed so they can push the flap aside.
- A train of touching balls counts each ball.
