Introduction: Turn Your Lights on With Clapping?!
Wouldn't it be nice to turn on your lights without getting off the couch? In this project I am going to show you how to build a simple Arduino clap circuit which can turn on and off all kinds of AC appliances. Let's get started!
Step 1: Watch the Video!
The video gives you an overview on how to build this project. But I am going to present you more detailed information in the following steps to make your life easier.
Step 2: Order Your Parts!

Visit your local hardware store to get your screws, nuts and different connectors.
Step 3: Build the Circuit!
Here you can find the schematic and veroboard layout to create your own clap circuit. I recommend to build it firstly on a breadboard to test the circuit before moving it over to a stripboard.
Step 4: Program the ATtiny85!
Use the given sketch to program your ATtiny85. If you don't know how to do this with an Arduino Uno then have a look at my previous video about the subject:

Step 5: Get the Wiring Done!
With the help of the pictures you should be able to see which wire connects to which connector. As I mentioned in the video 230V can kill you, be careful!
Step 6: Success!
You did it. You just created your own clap circuit!
