How to make a clap switch?? It's really easy to make AC appliances work just by snap or clap, be careful when you are using AC appliances , if you are novice please don't try this without understanding some basic stuff about electronics.

Step 1: Components Need and How to Connect the Components.

Arduino Uno

Sound sensor (digital output)

Relay Module

This video I made for double clap switch but both the hardware connections are same.

Note: Make sure you are connecting the sound sensor and relay according the Program.

Step 2: Arduino Program

int Torelay = 8; // signal to drive relay

int soundsensor = 7; // input from sound sensor

boolean state = false;

void setup()

{

pinMode(Torelay, OUTPUT);

pinMode(soundsensor, INPUT);

}

void loop(){

if (digitalRead(soundsensor) == LOW)

{

delay(100);

state = !state;

digitalWrite(Torelay, state);

}

}

copy the program and transfer the program to your arduino.

Step 3: Working of Clap Switch.
