The JiggyBot Mission
Mission: To build a JiggyBot that will win a race
JiggyBots are electrical devices
that light up and vibrate.
Mission Targets:
1. I can identify and describe the function of the components used to light
up and move the JiggyBot.
2.
I can read and interpret an electronic circuit diagram (schematic).
3.
I can describe the flow of electrical current through the JiggyBot
components to explain how it works.
4.
I can solder the components of the JiggyBot onto a printed circuit board
(PCB) successfully to light up the light-emitting diode (LED) and vibrate.

JiggyBot Baggie Components
Sunday July 13, 2014
Directions: Find this page in your lab manual
1. Open the JiggyBot baggie and
get out the electronic
components.
2. Match the components with
the correct component name
on the JiggyBot Component
Inventory Sheet.
3. Use the internet or reference
sheet to determine the
function of each component
in the kit and record in the
space provided.

Printed Circuit Board
• Mechanically supports and
Electrically connects electronic
components using electrically
conductive tracts etched from
copper sheets and laminated
on a non conductive substrate.
• Note: Electrically conductive
means that electricity can flow
through the tracts and the into
the components.

Battery
Device that converts chemical
energy into electrical energy.
Switch
Device used to open and close an
electrical circuit.
Resistor
Limits (resists) the flow of
electrical current

LED
Light Emitting Diode
Diodes are
polarized devices.
Electricity can only
flow in one
direction through
them.

Challenge
• Use the breadboard in your JiggyBot baggie to
practice creating a circuit that will light the
LED.
• Draw the connections that worked on your
worksheet by using the schematic symbols for
the battery, LED and resistor.
• When you get it working – take a picture of it!!

Solder
is a fusible metal alloy used to join together
metal work pieces and having a melting point
below that of the work piece.
Composed primarily of Lead and Tin.
(so we need to wash our hands when we’re finished)
Take a piece and bend or stretch it – it’s ductile!

Soldering 101
• Soldering is dangerous if not respected.
• Be mindful of where you are and where the
soldering iron is around you.
• If you get burned…LET US KNOW IMMEDIATELY!
• Stay together, don’t work ahead for now
(For your safety)

Get your station Ready
• Moisten your sponges with the water bottles
at your tables. (You don’t need standing water)
• Turn your soldering irons to 750° F.
Would like to have a picture of our soldering
iron on 750

Preparing your Iron
• Tin the tip of the soldering
iron by melting an inch or so
of solder on the tip.
• The iron will now look shiny
on the tip.
• Then wipe any excess solder
on the golden sponge.
• Now place the iron back into
the holder.
Tinning your soldering iron in
this manner will aid in future
soldering.

Soldering Tips
1. Make sure the tip is hot!
2. Clean & tin the tip regularly
Keep tip clean by using wet sponge and scour pad
3. Heat all parts until they are hot enough to melt
solder
4. Hold the iron on the joint until the solder flashes
around the pad
5. Do not use too much solder (Less is more here)

Tips
• Use caution when
clipping leads to avoid
flinging metal across the
room.
• All soldering must
achieve a good solder
filet on the pad as shown
for circuit reliability.
• Bend resistors and
diodes using needlenose
pliers as shown.

Step 5
If your JiggyBot vibrates and the LED is on, then
you have successfully built (soldered) your first
electronic device!
Facebook, Tweet, Instagram, Vine,
Whatever YOU do – tell the world
how awesome you are 

Prepare for Race
You may strategically solder legs (stiff wires) onto your
JiggyBot.
All the JiggyBots will be placed
in a Hula Hoop and turned on.
The Hula Hoop will be removed and
Your goal is to make it to the
outer most ring (outlined in tape)
first!

Jazz it Up
Pimp out your JiggyBot –
make her spectacularly fabulous!
– Only one criteria:
She MUST have your picture on her.
Take lots of pictures of her and post 
