Using this DIY Light - Controlled Phonograph Kit is easy. First, assemble the parts according to the instructions. Since it has a basswood base, handle it gently to avoid damage. Once assembled, connect it to your micro:bit or ESP32 board. Then, use Makecode or KidsBlock to program it. You can start by making it play simple melodies and then move on to creating more complex functions. When using the kit, keep it away from moisture and direct sunlight to prevent damage to the components. For maintenance, you can use a soft, dry cloth to clean the basswood base. If you encounter any issues with the photoresistor or power amplifier, check the connections first. Remember, the Micro:bit is not included, so you'll need to have your own. Enjoy your time with this fun and educational kit!
