Hello all,
This year for my introductory Electronics course, we have been assigned to create a clapper circuit that turns on an LED after one clap, and Turns the LED off after two claps. So far I have the microphone wired to an omp-amp, and then after that I am really very lost on where to go next.
I was talking to the instructor and he hinted that a monostable 555 timer would be a nice place to go after the op-amp. I understand the capabilities of a monostable 555 timer, just not why it would be useful after the op-amp(which is inverted by the way). Then there is the logic which has to recognize the number of claps (within a certain time limit, aka where the 555 timer comes in again), which I am confused on.
The last main question I have so far, is how a logic gate of any type could recognize two successive signals coming from the wire and turn it into memory.
Any Help would be appreciated, thank you.
Daniel
