ABSTRACT

 

                                 The " Clap On and Clap Off Switch "  is an interesting concept that could be used in home automation. It works as a switch which makes devices ON and OFF by making a clap sound. Although its name is “Clap switch”, but it can be turned ON by any sound of about same pitch of Clap sound.

 

                                 The main component of the circuit is the Electric Condenser Mic, which has been used as a sound sensor. Condenser Mic basically converts sound energy into electrical energy, that in turns used to trigger 555 timer IC, through a Transistor. And triggering of IC 555 TIMER works as a Clock pulse for D-type flip-flop and would turn ON the LED, which will remain ON until the next clock pulse means until the next Clap/sound. So this is the Clap Switch which will turn ON with first Clap and turn OFF with the second Clap.

 

                                  If we remove the D-type Flip flop from the circuit, the LED will be turned OFF automatically after some time and this time will be 1.1xR1xC1 seconds, The basic idea of clap switch is that the electric microphone picks up the sound of your claps, coughs, and the sound of that book knocked off the table. It produces a small electrical signal which is amplified by the succeeding transistor stage. Two transistors cross connected as a bistable multivibrator change state at each signal. One of these transistors drives a heavier transistor which controls a lamp. Basically, this is a Sound operated switch. For example, fan, fluorescent light, TV and other appliances can be switched on (or) off by clapping. This circuit can be used by changing individual situations.

1.   INTRODUCTION : -

                              

                                    This is a project on CLAP SWITCH which can switch on/off any electrical circuit by the sound of a clap. The operation of the circuit is simple. If we clap the lamp turns on and to switch it off clap again . The condenser microphone picks up the sound of your claps, coughs, and the sound of that book knocked off the table. It produces a small electrical signal which is amplified by the succeeding transistor stage.

                                  Two transistors cross connected as a bi - stable multi vibrator change state at each signal. One of these transistors drives a heavier transistor which controls a lamp. This circuit can switch on and off a light, a fan or a radio etc., by the sound of a clap This circuit is constructed using basic electronic components like resistors, transistors, relay, transformer, capacitors.  

                                   This circuit turns “ ON ‟ light for the first clap. The light turns ON till the next clap. For the next clap the light turns OFF. This circuit works with 12V voltage. Therefore a step-down transformer 12V/300mA is employed. This working of this circuit is based on amplifying nature of the transistor, switching nature of transistor, relay as an electronic switch .Basically, this is a Sound operated switch.

                                  The basic principle of this clap switch circuit is that it converts sound signal into electrical energy. The input component is a transducer that receives clap sound as input and converts it to electrical pulse. The basic idea of clap switch is that the electric microphone picks up the sound of your claps, coughs, and the sound of that book knocked off the table.

                               It produces a small electrical signal which is amplified by the succeeding transistor stage. Two transistors cross connected as a bi - stable multi vibrator change state at each signal. One of these transistors drives a heavier transistor which controls a lamp.

                                 A clap switch is a switch but they didn’t work with your physical movement, all they want to work is clapping sound or produce a sound equivalent to the pitch of same as clapping sound. A circuited switch, which operates with sound of clapping hands or something similar; i.e. the switch comes to 'on' position when clapped once or twice, and to off' position when again clapped once or twice (depends on circuit design). A clap -switch circuit is a sound sensitive circuit. .

 

                     The operation of the circuit is simple. Clap and the lamp turns on. Clap again and it turns off. The condenser microphone picks up the sound of your claps, coughs, and the sound of that book knocked off the table. It produces a small electrical signal which is amplified by the succeeding transistor stage.

                               Two transistors cross connected as a bistable multivibrator change state at each signal. One of these transistors drives a heavier transistor which controls a lamp. This circuit can switch on and off a light, a fan or a radio etc by the sound of a clap. This working of this circuit is based on amplifying nature of the transistor, switching nature of transistor, relay as an electronic switch.

                  

                    The LED on-time can be varied by changing the value of the capacitor (100mF). When capacitor value is changed from 100 mF to 10mF, the LED on time is decreased. Your clap should be loud, you can blow air from your mouth on the electric condenser to turn on the LED.

2. COMPONENTS : –

2.1 RESISTORS : -

                                   Resistors are the most common passive electronic component (one that does not require power to operate). They are used to control voltages and currents. While a resistor is a very basic component, there are many ways to manufacture them. Observe the physical structure of the resistor as shown below figure a.

Figure - Resistors

                      Each style has its own characteristics that make it desirable in certain types of applications. Choosing the right type of resistor is important to making high-performance or precision circuits work well. This bonus chapter covers the resistor types and helps with picking the right one for your project

                                      

                       All resistors are basically just a piece of conducting material with a specific value of resistance. For that piece of conducting material to be made into a practical resistor, a pair of electrodes and leads are attached so current can flow. The resistor is then coated with an insulating material to protect the conducting material from the surrounding environment and vice versa.

                        There are several different resistor construction methods and body styles (or packages) that are designed for a certain range of applied voltage, power dissipation, or other considerations. The construction of the resistor can affect its performance at high frequencies where it may act like a small inductor or capacitor has been added, called parasitic inductance or capacitance.

What is a resistor, how does it work and what are its various types and applications?

A resistor is a passive two-terminal electrical component of a circuit that implements electrical resistance in the circuit; resistance in turn is a measure of the opposition to current flow in an electrical circuit.

Thus resistors are basically used to decrease current flow, adjust signal levels, divide voltages, bias active elements, and end transmission lines, among other things.

The resistance implemented by resistors is calculated in ohms (Ω). An ohm is the resistance that occurs when a current of one ampere (A, or I) passes through a resistor with a one volt (V) drop across its terminals.

The current is proportional to the voltage across both ends of the terminal. The ratio is represented by Ohm’s law that states that: R = V/ I, where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. 

Today, resistors are used for many purposes, including limiting electric current, generating heat, dividing voltage, matching and loading electronic circuits and setting time constants.

Available in the markets with resistance values over a range of more than nine orders of magnitude, resistors can be tinier than a square millimeter as seen in many electronic items and they could also be used as electric brakes to chip away kinetic energy from trains.

The international IEC (International Electro technical Commission, an international standards organization) symbol for a resistor is a rectangular shape with leads at each end as seen below figure :

Figure – Square symbol Resistor

 

However, in the US, the fixed resistor is typically symbolized by a zigzag line as seen below figure :

Figure – Electronic Symbol Resistor

 

How does a resistor work?

                                                    A resistor’s function is to restrict/ limit the flow of electrical current and it carries out its function in one of three ways: one is through the use of  a less conductive material, another involves making the conductive material thinner and lastly. It works by making the conductive material longer.

Many resistors today are wire-wound; here there’s a conductive wire wound around an insulating middle, while other resistors instead have a spiral of carbon, called carbon-film. Wire-wound resistors are typically more precise and stable than carbon-film ones, the resistance of these resistors is controlled by the number of turns and thickness of the wire. And while there are several types of resistors out there, they all operate as per the same three principles shared above. 

In this example, we have a 15 volt d.c. supply for a 3 volt LED. Without a current limiting resistor or even in case of low resistance (which would mean more current flowing through the circuit), the LED will burn. So we use a resistor that goes on to limit the current and cause a voltage drop.

What then should the resistance of the resistor be in order to do so? 

So to start with, we see that the circuit has 15 volts power supply, out of which 3 volts are used by the LED, this means that there’s 12 volts for the resistor. We also know that the circuit must have a current of about 20 milliamps (0.02 amps) else the LED will burn out. 

We now use the Ohm’s Law to find the resistance (R) needed to protect the LED from excessive current. Ohm’s Law is V = I×R

So substituting the values here, we get 

12 = 0.02×R   

Therefore, R = 12 ÷0.02    

Thus,      R = 600 Ω   

Using Ohm’s Law we see that we need a 450 ohm resistor for the LED to not burn. 

Figure – Finding a Resistor

Finding the resistance of a resistor

Resistor color code is commonly used to find the resistance of a resistor. The color coding method is quite simple, where each color is associated with a number between 0 and 9.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.2 CAPACITOR : -

Capacitor has ability to store charge and release them at a later time. Capacitance is the measure of the amount of charge that a capacitor can store for a given applied voltage. The unit of capacitance is the farad (F) or microfarad. The capacitors used in the circuit are electrolytic-capacitor. In the circuit the electrolytic capacitor is used as a bypass capacitor. Any noise variation in the circuit is removed by the capacitor.

Figure – Electronic Symbol of Capacitor

A capacitor is made up of two metallic plates. With a dielectric material in between the plates. When you apply a voltage over the two plates, an electric field is created. And this is what the physicists mean when they say that “a capacitor works by storing energy electrostatically in an electric field”.

Figure – Physical Structure of Capacitor

A capacitor is a device that stores electricity inside it when it is supplied and gives it out in a circuit when there is a loss in electricity. It is like a rechargeable battery but there is a lot of difference between them.

A capacitor can store a small amount of current and can charge instantly whereas a battery can store a large amount of current and takes a while to charge.

There are many types of capacitors but the two common types are- electrolytic (polarised) and non electrolytic (non polarised). Capacitance is normally measured in pico farads, nano farads and micro farads.

                                    Capacitors are used commonly and useful as an electronic component in the modern circuits and devices. The capacitor has a long history and usage with more than 250 years ago the capacitors are the oldest electronic component being studied, designed, developed and used. With further technology, the capacitors are come up with different types based on their factors. In this article, we are discussing the most popular and most useful types of capacitors. The capacitor is a component and it has the ability to store energy in the form of electrical charge produces the electrical difference across its plates and it is like a small rechargeable battery.

Figure – Different Capacitors

It is important to remember that there are a number of different types of capacitors available, but they all follow the same basic laws. The major difference between capacitors is the dielectric used (material used between the two plates).

Some of the major types of capacitors used include:

Ceramic Capacitor : used in many applications from audio to RF. Values range from a few picofarads to around 0.1 microfarads. Ceramic capacitors are by far the most commonly used type of capacitor being cheap and reliable and their loss factor is particularly low although this is dependent on the exact dielectric in use. These capacitors are widely used both in leaded and surface mount formats

Electrolytic capacitor : are a type of capacitor that is polarised. They are able to offer high capacitance values - typically above 1μF, and are most widely used for low frequency applications - power supplies, decoupling and audio coupling applications as they have a frequency limit of around 100 kHz.

Tantalum capacitor :  like electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors are also polarised and offer a very high capacitance level for their volume. However this type of capacitor is very intolerant of being reverse biased, often exploding when placed under stress. They must also not be subject to high ripple currents or voltages above their working voltage. They are available in both leaded and surface mount formats.

Polystyrene Film Capacitor : are a relatively cheap form of capacitor but offer a close tolerance capacitor where needed. They are tubular in shape resulting from the fact that the plate / dielectric sandwich is rolled together, but this adds inductance limiting their frequency response to a few hundred kHz. They are generally only available as leaded electronics components.

Polyester Film Capacitor : are used where cost is a consideration as they do not offer a high tolerance. Many polyester film capacitors have a tolerance of 5% or 10%, which is adequate for many applications. They are generally only available as leaded electronics components.

The capacitance is the ratio of electric charge (Q) to the voltage (V) and the mathematical expansion is following.

C = Q/V

Where,

  • Q is the electric charge in coulombs
  • C is the capacitance in farad
  • V is the voltage between the plates in volts

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.3 BATTERY : -

 

In electricity, a battery is a device consisting of one or more electrochemical cells that convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy. Since the invention of the first battery (or " voltaic pile" ) in 1800 by Alessandro Volta and especially since the technically improved Daniel cell in 1836, batteries have become a common power source for many household and industrial applications. According to a 2005 estimate, the worldwide battery industry generates US$48 billion in sales each year, with 6% annual growth

 

There are two types of batteries: primary batteries (disposable batteries), which are designed to be used once and discarded, and secondary batteries (rechargeable batteries), which are designed to be recharged and used multiple times. Batteries come in many sizes, from miniature cells used to power hearing aids and wristwatches to battery banks the size of rooms that provide standby power for exchanges and computer data centers. Using the right kind of batteries makes all the difference in the overall performance and lifespan of your piece of equipment. This guide will break down the various types of common battery sizes and types so you can get the most use out of your device.

Figure – 9Volt Battery

Different Battery Sizes :

Different battery sizes contribute to the overall effectiveness of your equipment, but it is important to understand why. Generally, the larger the battery is, the more capacity it has for energy storage.

 So even though a big and small battery are both rated at 1.5V, the big battery stores more energy and provides a longer battery life.

Figure – Different Batteries

Batteries are extremely useful to us as consumers because they convert stored chemical energy into electrical energy, eliminating the need for a direct power source.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2.4 BC547 TRANSISTOR : -

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify and switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. A voltage or current applied to one pair of the transistor's terminals changes the current flowing through another pair of terminals. Because the controlled (output) power can be higher than the controlling (input) power, a transistor can amplify a signal. Today, some transistors are packaged individually, but many more are found embedded in integrated circuits.

 

Figure – Physical Structure of Transistor

The bipolar NPN transistors used in this design are basically used as switch, to trigger the relay and as amplifier to boost the mic level to line level. When a transistor is used as switch, it must be either OFF or fully ON. In the fully ON state, the voltage VCE across the transistor is almost zero and the transistor is said to be saturated because it cannot pass any more collector current IC. The transistor is off when VIN is less than 0.7 V, because the base current will be zero. The power developed in a switching transistor is very small In the OFF state IC555 Timer: The 555 timer is a very versatile 8-pin, which can be configured with a few external components and to build many circuits involving timing. The NE 555, used in this design is a popular version that is suitable in most cases where a 555 timer is needed. It is a dual-In -line (DIL) package.

 

 

2.5 IC 555 : -

The 555 timer configuration can be done in three modes but for the purpose of this design, two of them are required namely: astable and Monostable mode. An astable circuit produces a square wave with sharp transitions between low and high. It is called astable because it is not stable in any state since the output is continually changing between “low” and “high”. A monostable circuit produces a single output pulse when triggered. It is stable in just one state; the “output low” state. This is also known as the triggered pulse producer. Once The 555 timer IC is integreted circuit(chip) used in variety of timer pulse generation and oscillator applications. The 555 timer can be used to provide time delays as an oscillator and as a flip-flop element.Derivatives provide two (556) or four(558)timing circuit’s in one package.

 

Figure – Internal View Of IC - 555

I C 555 as Switch

When a transistor is used as a switch it is operated in the Saturation and Cut-Off Region as explained above. As discussed a transistor will act as an Open switch during Forward Bias and as a Closed switch during Reverse Bias, this biasing can be achieved by supplying the required amount of current to the base pin. As mentioned the biasing current should maximum of 5mA. Anything more than 5mA will kill the Transistor; hence a resistor is always added in series with base pin. The value of this resistor (RB) can be calculated using below formulae.

RB  = VBE / IB

Where, the value of VBE should be 5V for IC 555 and the Base current (IB depends on the Collector current (IC). The value of Ishould not exceed mA.

Figure - Transistor

I C 555 as Amplifier

A Transistors acts as an Amplifier when operating in Active Region. It can amplify power, voltage and current at different configurations.

Some of the configurations used in amplifier circuits are

  1. Common emitter amplifier
  2. Common collector amplifier
  3. Common base amplifier

3

Emitter

Current Drains out through emitter.

 Of the above types common emitter type is the popular and mostly used configuration. When uses as an Amplifier the DC current gain of the Transistor can be calculated by using the below formulae DC Current Gain = Collector Current (IC) / Base Current (IB).

 

 

2.6 LED : -

 

“A light emitting diode is two-LED semi conductor light source .It is a p-n junction diode that emits light when activated. When a suitable voltage is applied to the leads ,electrons are able to recombine with electron holes within the device, releasing energy in the form of photons “.

Figure – LED

A Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a semiconductor device, which can emit light when an electric current passes through it. To do this, holes from p-type semiconductors recombine with electrons from n-type semiconductors to produce light. The wavelength of the light emitted depends on the band gap of the semiconductor material. Harder materials with stronger molecular bonds generally have wider band gaps. Aluminium Nitride semiconductors are known as ultra-wide band gap semiconductors.

Figure – Internal view of LED

 

2.7 MICRO PHONES : -

This type of microphone converts pressure fluctuations into electrical current. This microphone works by means of the principle known as faraday’s law, the principle states that when an electrical conductor is moved through a magnetic field ,an electrical current is induced within the conductor Microphones are types of transducers, they convert acoustic energy i.e. sound signal. Basically, a microphone is made up of a diaphragm, which is a thin piece of material that vibrates when it is struck by sound wave.

This causes other components in the microphone to vibrate leading to variations in some electrical quantities thereby causing electrical current to be generated. The current generated in the microphone is the electrical pulse.

 

Figure – Micro phone

There are two major types of microphones based on the technical methods of converting sound into electricity namely the organic and condenser microphone. Table 1 shows the comparison between the dynamic and condenser microphone. Condenser microphones generally have flatter frequency responses than dynamic, and therefore mean that a condense microphone is more desirable if accurate sound is a prime consideration as required in this design.

3. PIN DIAGRAM : -

 

3.1 CLAP ON AND CLAP OFF SWITCH BY USING IC555 TIMER : -

·       Pin 1 : - Grounded Terminal: All the voltages are measured with respect to the Ground terminal.

·       Pin 2 : - Trigger Terminal: The trigger pin is used to feed the trigger input hen the 555 IC is set up as a monostable multivibrator. This pin is an inverting input of a comparator and is responsible for the transition of flip-flop from set to reset. The output of the timer depends on the amplitude of the external trigger pulse applied to this pin. A negative pulse with a dc level greater than Vcc/3 is applied to this terminal. In the negative edge, as the trigger passes through Vcc/3, the output of the lower comparator becomes high and the complimentary of Q becomes zero. Thus the 555 IC output gets a high voltage, and thus a quasi stable state.

·       Pin 3 : - Output Terminal: Output of the timer is available at this pin. There are two ways in which a load can be connected to the output terminal. One way is to connect between output pin (pin 3) and ground pin (pin 1) or between pin 3 and supply pin (pin 8). The load connected between output and ground supply pin is called the normally on load and that connected between output and ground pin is called the normally off load.

·       Pin 4 : - Reset Terminal: Whenever the timer IC is to be reset or disabled, a negative pulse is applied to pin 4, and thus is named as reset terminal. The output is reset irrespective of the input condition. When this pin is not to be used for reset purpose, it should be connected to + VCC to avoid any possibility of false triggering.

·       Pin 5 : - Control Voltage Terminal: The threshold and trigger levels are controlled using this pin. The pulse width of the output waveform is determined by connecting a POT or bringing in an external voltage to this pin. The external voltage applied to this pin can also be used to modulate the output waveform. Thus, the amount of voltage applied in this terminal will decide when the comparator is to be switched, and thus changes the pulse width of the output. When this pin is not used, it should be bypassed to ground through a 0.01 micro Farad to avoid any noise problem.

·       Pin 6 : - Threshold Terminal: This is the non-inverting input terminal of comparator 1, which compares the voltage applied to the terminal with a reference voltage of 2/3 VCC. The amplitude of voltage applied to this terminal is responsible for the set state of flip-flop. When the voltage applied in this terminal is greater than 2/3Vcc, the upper comparator switches to +Vsat and the output gets reset.

·       Pin 7 : -  Discharge Terminal: This pin is connected internally to the collector of transistor and mostly a capacitor is connected between this terminal and ground. It is called discharge terminal because when transistor saturates, capacitor discharges through the transistor. When the transistor is cut-off, the capacitor charges at a rate determined by the external resistor and capacitor.

Figure – Pin Diagram of IC 555

·       Pin 8 : -  Supply Terminal: A supply voltage of + 5 V to + 18 V is applied to this terminal with respect to ground (pin 1).

NE 555 clap switch module (Figure 2) was implemented by using the basic electronic components such as microphone, transistor, resistor, capacitor, semiconductor, diode and LED. An electronic microphone would pick up the input sound of the clap and that changes sound audio waves into an electrical energy wave which will be amplified by the following transistor.

There will be two transistors in a row and in between these transistors is a Bistable Multivibrator which will flip on or off. The transistor on the other side is connected to some electronic devices which want to control by the hand clap. The device (LED) will switch on at the first clap and keep on up to the next clap sound. The relay would perform as the automatic switch. It is a sound based activated switch. NE 555 Timer IC is an essential electronic component of the clap switch. A simple circuit involving a single 8-bit micro-controller and some peripherals or a complex one involving system on chips (SoCs), IC555 timer working is involved. These provide time delays, as an oscillator and as a flip-flop element among other applications. Resistor device used in electrical current transmission to control the path of the current flowing to an electronic circuit by   applying  resistance. Resistors may be fixed resistors or variable resistors, both controlling the flow of current differently.

3.2 NPN CHARACTERSTICS : -

 The behaviour of an NPN bipolar transistor is largely controlled by the current flowing into the base (i.e., a positive current). For the usual collector-emitter voltage drops (i.e., the active region: positive voltages from a fraction of a volt up to some breakdown voltage) the collector current (IC) is nearly independent of the collector-emitter voltage (VCE), and instead depends on the base current (IB). (This is unusual behaviour usually more voltage produces to more current, but here the current only increases slightly with increasing VCE.) The current gain, i.e., the ratio of the collector current to the base current, is often denoted by or hFE: hFE = IC/IB

Figure – NPN Characteristics

Specifications : -

These specifications apply to the NE555. Other 555 timers can have different specifications depending on the grade (military, medical, etc.). These values should be considered "ball park" values, instead the current official datasheet from the exact manufacturer of each chip should be consulted for parameter limitation recommendations.

·       Supply voltage Vcc = 4.5 to 15V

·       Supply Current (+5V)= 3 to 6 mA

·       Supply Current (+15V)= 10 to 15 mA

·       Out Put Current 200mA

·       Maximum Power Dissipation 600mW

·       Power Consumption 30mW@5V, 225mW@15V

·       Operating Temperature 0 to 75 Degrees

 

Trigger Input : -

When <1/ 3 Vs ('active low') this makes the output high (+Vs). It monitors the discharging of the timing capacitor in  an a stable circuit. It has a high input impedance > 2M.

 

Threshold Input : -

 When >2 / 3 Vs ('active high') this makes the output low (0V). It monitors the charging of the timing capacitor in a stable and monostable circuits.

o   It has a high input impedance > 10Mproviding the trigger input is >1 / 3 Vs,

o   Otherwise the trigger input will override the threshold input and hold the output high (+Vs).

 

Reset Input : -

When less than about 0.7V ('active low') this makes the output low (0V), overriding other inputs. When not required it should be connected to +Vs. It has an input impedance of about 10k.

 

Control Input : -

 This can be used to adjust the threshold voltage which is set internally to be 2 / 3 Vs. Usually this function is not required and the control input is connected to 0V with a0.01µF capacitor to eliminate electrical noise. It can be left unconnected if noise is not a problem

 

Input Stage : -  

Condenser Microphone (Transducer) The sound of your claps is picked up using a condenser microphone. This microphone has a stage of amplification built in. The power for this built in amplifier is supplied by connecting a resistor to a positive source of voltage, and the changes in current get reflected as changes in voltage across this resistor according to the familiar relation

V = I*R. A larger resistor will give you a larger voltage, but then, the current into the device gets reduced which brings down the gain. The value of 5600 ohms (usually abbreviated to 5.6K, and written down in schematics as 5K6) seems to work all right.

 

 

3.3 CLAP ON AND OFF SWITCH BY USING ARDUINO UNO : -

The Microphone and ATmega2560 to sense the sound and activate a response based on that basically turns ON or OFF the device. When the user clapped there have been highest signal at the microphone this signal is higher than normal signals, initially this signal is fed to the amplifier, throughout a High Pass Filter.

4.              CIRCUIT DIAGRAM & WORKING OF CIRCUIT : -

 

4.1 CLAP ON AND OFF SWITCH BY USING  IC 555 : -

·       AUDIO AMPLIFIER : - when we clap our hands , the sound is received by by AUDIO AMPLIFIER. Here the given sound signal is converted into electrical signal and then amplified by using an audio power amplifier (or power amp) is an electronic amplifer that reproduces low-power electronic audio signals such as the signal from radio receiver or electric guitar pickup at a level that is strong enough for driving (or powering) loud speakers or headphones. This includes both amplifiers used in home audio systems and musical instrument amplifers like guitar amplifers. It is the final electronic stage in a typical audio playback chain before the signal is sent to the loudspeakers and speak enclosers.

Figure – Circuit Design of Clapping Switch

The preceding stages in such a chain are low power audio amplifiers which perform tasks like pre amplification of the signal (this is particularly associated with record turn table signals, microphone signals and electric instrument signals from pickups, such as the electric guitar and electric bass), Equalization (e.g., adjusting the bass and treble), tone controllers, mixing different signal inputs or Adding electronic effects such as reverb. The inputs can also be any number of audio sources like record players, CD players, digital audio player stand cassette players.

Most audio power amplifiers require these low-level inputs, which are line level. While the input signal to an audio power amplifier, such as the signal from an electric guitar, may measure only a few hundred microwatts, its output may be a few watts for small consumer electronics devices, such as clock radios, tens or hundreds of watts for a home stereo system, several thousand watts for a nightclub's sound system or tens of thousands of watts for a large rock concert sound reinforcement system. While power amplifiers are available in standalone units, typically aimed at the hifi audiophile market (a niche market) of audio enthusiasts and sound reinforcement system professionals, most consumer electronics sound products, such as clock radios, boom boxes and televisions have relatively small power amplifiers that are integrated inside the chassis of the main product.

Figure – Circuit Diagram of Clapping Switch

FLIP – FLOP CIRCUIT : -  After amplifying the given input signal (sound of a clap) ,it is fed to flip flop circuit. It consists of two transistors, one for the on position and the other for the off position. For this reason it is also known as bi-stable multi vibrator. In electronics, a flip flop or latch is a circuit that has two stable states and can be used to store state information. A flip-flop is a bistable multivibrator. The circuit can be made to change state by signals applied to one or more control inputs and will have one or two outputs. It is the basic storage element in sequential logic. Flip-flops and latches are fundamental building blocks of digital electronics systems used in computers, communications, and many other types of systems. Flip-flops and latches are used as data storage elements.

A flip-flop is a device which stores a single bit (binary digit) of data; one of its two states represents a "one" and the other represents a "zero". Such data storage can be used for storage of state, and such a circuit is described as sequential logic in electronics. When used in a finite-state machine, the output and next state depend not only on its current input, but also on its current state (and hence, previous inputs).

It can also be used for counting of pulses, and for synchronizing variably-timed input signals to some reference timing signal. Flip-flops can be either simple (transparent or opaque) or clocked (synchronous or edge triggered). Although the term flip-flop has historically referred generically to both simple and clocked circuits, in modern usage it is common to reserve the term flip-flop exclusively for discussing clocked circuits; the simple ones are commonly called latches.

Using this terminology, a latch is level-sensitive, whereas a flip-flop is edge-sensitive. That is, when a latch is enabled it becomes transparent, while a flip flop's output only changes on a single type (positive going or negative going) of clock edge.

 

CIRCUIT AMPLIFIER : - The signal after this process the outcome electric signal becomes very weak. So, it is amplified using another transistor and given to relay, it acts as a mechanical switch This article is about electronic amplifiers. For other uses, see Amplifier (disambiguation). A 100 watt stereo audio amplifier used in home component audio systems in the 1970s.

An amplifier, electronic amplifier or (informally) amp is an electronic device that can increase the Power of a signal (a time-varying voltage or current). An amplifier uses electric power from a power supply to increase the amplitude of a signal. The amount of amplification provided by an amplifier is measured by its gain: the ratio of output voltage, current, or power to input. An amplifier is a circuit that has a power gain greater than one,

                            An amplifier can either be a separate piece of equipment or an electrical circuit contained within another device. Amplification is fundamental to modern electronics, and amplifiers are widely used in almost all electronic equipment.

                           Amplifiers can be categorized in different ways. One is by the frequency of the electronic signal being amplified. For example, audio amplifiers amplify signals in the audio (sound) range of less than 20 kHz, RF amplifiers amplify frequencies in the radio frequency range between 20 kHz and 300 GHz, and servo amplifiers and instrumentation amplifiers may work with very low frequencies down to direct current.

Amplifiers can also be categorized by their physical placement in the signal chain; a preamplifier may precede other signal processing stages, for example.[4] The first practical electrical device which could amplify was the triode vacuum tube, invented in 1906 by Lee De Forest, which led to the first amplifiers around 1912. Clap switch is a circuit that can switch ON & OFF a light, fan, radio etc. by the sound of clap.

The sound of clap is received by a small microphone that is shown biased by resistor R1 in the circuit. The microphone changes sound wave in to electrical wave which is further amplified by Q1.Transistor Q1 is used as common emitter circuit to amplify weak signals received by the microphone. Amplified output from the collector of transistor Q1 is then feed to the bi- stable multi vibrator circuit also known as flip-flop. Flip-flop circuit is made by using two Transistors, in our circuit Q2 and Q3.

Figure – Clapping Switch on Bread Board

 In a flip-flop circuit, at a time only one transistor conduct and other cut off and when it gets a trigger pulse from outside source then first transistor is cut off and 2nd transistor conducts. Thus output of transistor is either logic-0 or logic-1 and it remains in one state 0or 1 until it gets trigger pulse from outer source.

                                             The pulse of clap which is a trigger for flip-flop which makes changes to the output which is complementary (reverse).Output of flipflop which is in the low current form is unable to drive relay directly so we have used a current amplifier circuit by using Q4 which is a common emitter circuit. Output of Q4 is connected to a Relay (Electromagnetic switch), works like a mechanical switch.

Working of D-type Flip-flop

Here we are using Positive Edge Triggered D-type flip-flop, which means this flip flop only responds when clock pulse would go from LOW to HIGH. OUTPUT Q will be shown according to state of INPUT D, at the time of the Clock pulse transition (Low to High). Flip flop remembers this OUTPUT state Q (Either HIGH or LOW), until the next positive clock pulse (Low to High). And again shows the OUPUT Q, according to the input state D, at the time of clock pulse transition (LOW to HIGH)

Figure – flip flop

                           D-type Flip-flop is basically the advanced version of S-R flip flop. In S-R flip flop, the S=0 and R=0 is forbidden, because it is making the flip-flop behaving unexpectedly.

                            This problem is resolved in D-type Flip-flop, by adding a Inverter between both the inputs (see the diagram) and the second input is given by the Clock pulse to both the NAND gates. Inverter is introduced to avoid same logic levels at both the inputs, so that “S=0 and R=0” condition never occurs.

We can deduce the truth table for this D-Flip-flop in above table. D-type Flip-flop doesn’t change its state while clock pulse is low, because it gives the output logic level “1” at NAND gates A and B, which is the input for NAND gates X and Y. And when both the inputs are 1 for NAND gates X and Y, then output don’t change (remember S-R flip-flop).

                           The conclusion is that it will not change its state while clock pulse is LOW, regardless of INPUT D. It only change when there is transition in Clock pulse from LOW to HIGH. It won’t change during the HIGH and LOW period.

4.2 CLAP ON AND OFF SWITCH BY USING ARDUINO UNO : -

                                        Clap Switch Using Arduino and LM393 Sound Sensor. I am sure that you all are aware of the working of the basic switches and their use. There are many types of switches available in the market, some of them have two or more terminals. Basically, a two-pin switch is most common among all. They are used in electrical networks to complete or break the circuits. We use an Arduino UNO microcontroller board to control the circuit and a LM393 sound sensor for detecting the clap sound which we have to produce. You can also check out more such cool projects based on Arduino. In this project, we will make a digital switch that works automatically. Please make the circuit according to the given diagram and then upload the given Arduino code.

We use a LM393 sound sensor that generates a high output whenever it detects a sound signal. If you are not familiar with the working of the Sound Sensor with Arduino then please check it out first. We have to clap to generate a loud sound so the sensor will detect it. When you clap near the sound sensor the LED will go on when you clap again the LED goes off. There are two given circuits and you can make any one of your choices. One circuit is designed to turn on and off an AC bulb and the other is for an LED. Please work carefully with the AC load.

The sound sensor module makes it simple to detect sound and is commonly used to determine sound intensity. For protection, switching and monitoring applications, this module can be used. It is easy to adjust its precision to ease of use. It uses a microphone that provides an amplifier, high detector, and buffers for the signal. When a sound is detected, the sensor generates an output signal voltage, which is then sent to a micro-controller, which performs the required processing.


Figure – Sound Sensor

The sound detector sensor module for Arduino determines whether or not sound has crossed a predefined threshold value. A microphone detects sound, which is then fed into an LM393 op -amp. An onboard potentiometer is used to change the sound level set point. As the sound frequency reaches the threshold, an LED on the module illuminates and the output is reduced.

4.2.2 5V Relay Module : -

A relay consists of three pins : -

NO (Normally Open) terminal, NC (Normally Closed) terminal, common pin, and coil.  The contacts connected to each other are created when a coil is powered on the magnetic field.
The part of a relay that moves is called the COM (Common) terminal. The COM is connected to the NC (Normally Closed) terminal when a relay is turned off. The relay’s NO (Normally Open) terminal is not connected until the relay is turned on. The COM moves from NC to NO when the relay is turned on.

To connect relay module with Arduino As shown in relay working idea it depends on magnetic field generated from the coil so there is power isolation between the coil and the switching pins so coils can be easily powered from Arduino by connecting VCC and GND bins from Arduino kit to the relay module kit after that we choose Arduino output pins depending on the number of relays needed in project designed and set these pins to output and make it out high (5 V) to control the coil that allow controlling of switching process.

5.   PLANNING AND APPROACH : -

         

                                 This objective of the project is to design a clap activated switch device that will serve well in different controlled applications, providing inexpensive key and at the same time free from false triggering. This involves the design of various stages consisting of the pickup transducer, low frequency, audio low power and low noise amplifier, timer, bistable multivibrator and switches. It also consists of special network components to prevent false triggering and ensure desired performance objectives. A decade counter IC serves the bistable function instead of flip-flop.

 

APPROACH : -

• The condenser microphone will capture the sound and convert it into an electric signal.

Hand claps are typically within the 2800 hertz range.

• The 2nd stage amplifier will enlarge the signal which will help the 1st 555 timer to recognize the 1st clap.

• The decade counter is there to check if the two claps are generated within 3 seconds.

• The microphone will pick the hand clap sound and converted as an electro signal.

• Human hand clap sound are normally within the 2200Hz to 2800Hz array. In the circuit the second stage amplifier will amplify the signal that has to be helpful the NE 555 timer to Identify the hand first clap sound.

 • Switch will trigger the device and move to ON state.

 • The second hand clap is Identify by the NE 555 timer within an interval then the switch will trigger the device and move to OFF state.

 • Initial the received signal through the microphone is passed to the circuit then the system will be activated with the first input.

 • Until received the second signal circuit is in the activated stage.

 • After received second output to the circuit its goes to knock off stage.

CONCLUSION

 

 

        

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8.   CONCLUSION : -

 

1)     Assemble the circuit on a general-purpose PCB and enclose it in a suitable box. This circuit is very useful in field of electronic circuits.

2)     By using some modification it area of application can be extended in various fields. It can be used to raised alarm in security system with a noise, and also used at the place where silence needed.

3)     This project gives us a great deal of knowledge about the 555 timer chips, working of clocks and the relay. This type of device provides us with the working of NE555 timer chips and the relay.

4)     The relay is a type of switch which provides a conducting path only when current flows it.

5)     In this project as soon as the 2nd timer triggers the relay a conducting path is established between terminals of the load and hence the device is turned on. The time interval between the claps is judged with the time constant established with the RC configuration which is T=1.1R7*C3. 

6)     This switch is very low cost and is very useful to the elderly and physically challenged people. But the major disadvantage of this switch is false triggering.

7)     The switch can be triggered by any two sounds similar to that of hands clapping. So care has to be taken to avoid this kind of false triggering and the switch should not be used in very sensible applications.

8)     It is only for home uses. But nevertheless it is an excellent example of electronics evolution and how engineering and electronics have made our life easier.

9)     Assembling the circuit on the breadboard and having tested in multiple times with different test cases we could build our autonomous clapping switches with these two mechanism IC 555 clap switch and Arduino clap switch both were worked with efficiency and effectively.

10) The clap activated switching device function properly by responding to both hand claps at about three to four meter away and finger tap sound at very close range, since both are low frequency sounds and produce the same pulse wave features.

11) The resulting device is realizable, has good reliability and its relatively inexpensive.

12) To measure the efficiency of the both system acoustic measurements is very important.

 

 

 

13) The Acoustic Measurements result is mostly depending on the internal components of the microphone such as springy clamping, ring capillary tube, gold-plated contact, disc spring, quartz isolation disc, back plate electrode and membrane.

14) The efficiency of the system is determining the sound velocity also. The NE 555 based clap switch and Arduino based clap switch were analysis with acoustic and sound velocity measurements.

15)  Finally, Arduino based systems were providing more efficient than the NE 555 based clap switch circuit.

The Acoustic Measurements result is mostly depending on the internal components of the microphone such as springy clamping, ring capillary tube, gold-plated contact, disc spring, quartz isolation disc, back plate electrode and membrane.

 

Ø  The efficiency of the system is determining the sound velocity also.

Ø  The IC 555 based clap switch and Arduino based clap switch were analysis with acoustic and sound velocity measurements. Finally, Arduino based systems were providing more efficient than the IC 555 & Arduino both based clap switch circuit.

 

Ø  Simply can measure the cost efficiency of the both system. The minimum cost is required to implement the IC 555 based clap switch but implementing Arduino based clap switch module is expensive. Arduino based clap switch module is working technical efficient manner.

 

 

Ø  The power consuming of the both systems are similar. Maintenance of the system IC 555 based clap switch is cheaper than the Arduino based system. During the practical implementation of the project, some of the values or components had to be changed in order to get more accurate result.
