Steps For Preparation:

Step 1: First connect all the components on a
breadboard with the wires by following the
provided circuit below.

Step 2: Solder the wires on the terminals of the

microphone.
Step 3: Check the output of the circuit after
connecting the already soldered microphone.
Step 4: After verifying the circuit, solder all the
components on the printed circuit board.

Applications:
1) The major advantage of the clap switch is
that you can turn something (e.g. lamp) on
or off from any location in the room (e.g.
while lying on the bed) simply by clapping
your hands.

2) The primary application involves an elderly or

mobility impaired person. A clap switch is
generally used for light, television, radio or
similar electronic device that the person will
want to turn on/off from bed.
