Build a simple DIY clap switch

Description: Here’s a simple DIY clap switch circuit. The circuit is mainly composed of an audio frequency and a bistable trigger circuit.

Q1 and Q2 together form an amplifier circuit. MK1 (electret microphone) accepts Clap/Audio signal and that enters to transistor Q1 through the coupling capacitor C1 and enters to Q2 base through collector directly after getting amplified. And it obtains a negative square-wave which used to trigger the bistable circuit from Q2’s collector.  (more…)

4 in 1 DIY kit- dark sensor, latch circuit, astable multivibrator and clap switch

This is a simple 4-in-1 do-it-yourself (DIY) kit from BuildCircuit. The kit has four different circuits that can be switched on separately or together at a time using a DIP switch.

The four circuits are:

1. Dark sensor using LDR.

2. A latch circuit using NE555 timer.

3. Astable circuit using NE555 timer.

4. A clap-switch circuit using NE555 timer.

Besides these 4 circuits, by changing the values of the resistors and capacitors, you can change the behaviour of the circuits. (more…)

SOUND ACTIVATED SWITCH – RELAY

This project is a sound-activated switch.

DESCRIPTION

Clap switch/Sound-activated switch designed around op-amp, flip-flop, and popular 555 IC. Switch avoids false triggering by using a 2-clap sound. Clapping sound is received by a microphone, the microphone changes the sound wave to an electrical wave which is further amplified by the op-amp.

555 timer IC acts as a mono-stable multi-vibrator then flip-flop changes the state of the output relay on every two-clap sound. This can be used to turn ON/OFF lights and fans. The circuit activates upon a two-clap sound and stays activated until another sound triggers the circuit.

Specifications:

  • Supply 12V DC @ 60mA
  • On board preset to set the sensitivity
  • On board LED to indicate the Relay on/off state
  • On board Microphone
  • Relay switch 5Amps, 110V-230V

5 beginners projects that work in the first attempt

Just started electronics ? And you don’t know any engineering behind your projects and you are afraid of failure ? Then, this article can help you get started in electronics.

Usually, success in initial projects plays important role in electronics amateurs and engineering students’ career. Many students quit electronics because they fail in their first, second projects. After few failures, student keep a misconception that electronic projects working now might not work later. Thus, I recommend beginners to start with those projects which will work in their first attempt and give inspiration from your own work.
