LM393 Sound Sensor Module

Description

Circuit Uncle has in its inventory the LM393 Sound Sensor module for sale in India. With us, you can get this module at your doorstep with ultra-fast shipping. The module is able to detect the sound wave using the LM393 IC, which is basically a comparator circuit which produces a positive voltage (logic 0) output whenever the microphone or mic attached with this module produces a voltage higher than a threshold, on encountering a sound wave. The analog output pin produces a voltage proportional to the sound wave intensity.

This sensor is good for detecting the presence of sound waves and can compare the relative intensity but not the frequency of the sound wave. The sound threshold level for the comparator (LM393) is set through an onboard potentiometer, which when exceeds, the onboard SMD LED is illuminated and the digital pin output becomes low.

This LM393 Sound Detection Sensor Module could be easily interfaced with an Arduino UNO, or Arduino Nano, or even Raspberry Pi.

If you remember the clap reacting toys or robots, they too used this kind of sensor!

Example Arduino Script of Arduino and LM393 Sound Sensor Module

void setup(){
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(2, INPUT);
}
void loop()
{
if(digitalRead(2) == 0) Serial.println(“no sound detected”);
else Serial.println(“sound detected”);
delay(250);
}
