Connecting Wires
Circuit Diagram Explanation: Since we have 12 BC547 transistors and 11 resistors, we will
connect additional LEDs using the same configuration as the original design but extend it to
include all 12 transistors and additional LEDs.
1. Power Supply:
Connect the positive terminal of the 9V battery to the switch (S1).
The other terminal of the switch goes to the positive rail of the breadboard.
Connect the negative terminal of the battery to the negative rail of the breadboard.
2. Electret Microphone:
Connect one terminal of the microphone to the positive rail.
Connect the other terminal of the microphone to one end of the 10kΩ resistor (R1).
The other end of R1 connects to the base of the first transistor (Q1).
3. Transistor Q1 (BC547):
Connect the collector of Q1 to the positive rail through another 10kΩ resistor (R2).
Connect the emitter of Q1 to the negative rail.
Add a 100nF capacitor (C1) between the base of Q1 and the negative rail.
Add a 1MΩ resistor (R3) between the base of Q1 and the positive rail.
4. Transistor Stages:
Connect the collector of Q1 to the base of the next transistor (Q2) through a 22Ω
resistor (R4).
Connect the emitter of Q2 to the negative rail.Connect the collector of Q2 to the
anode of the first LED (LED-1).
Connect the cathode of LED-1 to the positive rail through a 22Ω resistor.
Repeat these steps for each subsequent transistor (Q3 to Q12), connecting their bases
through 22Ω resistors, their emitters to the negative rail, and their collectors to the
respective LEDs.
5. LED Connections:
Connect the cathodes of all LEDs (LED-1 to LED-12) to their corresponding 22Ω
resistors. Connect the other ends of these resistors to the positive rail.
Breadboard Assembly:
Expected Outcome: The sound reactive LED flashlight circuit will respond to sound,
lighting up LEDs in rhythm with the detected audio. Here’s a brief overview:
1. Sound Detection: The electret microphone picks up sound and converts it into an
electrical signal.
2. Signal Amplification:
The signal is amplified by the first BC547 transistor (Q1).Resistors and a capacitor
stabilize and condition the signal.
3. LED Control:
Amplified signals drive the bases of subsequent BC547 transistors (Q2 to Q12).Each
transistor acts as a switch, turning on its connected LED when the signal exceeds a
threshold.
