SeeedGrove - Sound Sensor
Overview
The Grove - Sound Sensor is a microphone-based module designed to detect environmental sound levels. It utilizes an LM386 low-voltage power amplifier to provide an analog output signal proportional to the intensity of the audio input.
Why Choose This Part
The module features a simple analog interface that is compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic systems. Its integrated potentiometer allows for quick sensitivity adjustments without changing firmware code, and the Grove connector ensures solderless connectivity for rapid prototyping.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Connect the module to any analog input pin on a Grove Base Shield or Seeeduino board. Use standard analog read functions in the Arduino IDE to sample the output voltage, which ranges from 0V to the supply voltage based on sound pressure. Adjust the onboard blue potentiometer to tune the trigger threshold for specific ambient conditions.
