Boson - Sound Sensor - Input

The Boson Sound Sensor detects audio levels and enables students to build projects that respond to sound. Whether it's a loud clap, music, or spoken words, the module converts audio energy into digital signals that can trigger lights, displays, or movement. It's perfect for exploring cause and effect using sound as a natural input.

Educational Benefits:

• Demonstrates how sound can be used as input in digital systems.
• Encourages experimentation with audio detection and thresholds.
• Builds understanding of analogue-to-digital conversion.
• Supports auditory learning and sound-triggered programming.
• Engages students in coding through interactive and dynamic inputs.

Classroom Ideas:

• Program a lamp that activates with a clap or voice command.
• Create a classroom noise level indicator with coloured lights.
• Design a game where students must produce sounds to advance.
• Build a musical instrument project using sound input and LED feedback.
• Conduct experiments on acoustic properties using various environments.

Product Specifications:

• Input module that detects sound intensity.
• Blue-coded to indicate input type.
• Connects via 3-pin flexible cable - no soldering.
• Compatible with magnetic mounting, LEGO plates, and screws.
• Works with Arduino, micro:bit, and educational coding tools.
• Supports Python, Scratch, JavaScript, MakeCode, and C.
• Suitable for audio-interactive circuits and classroom engagement tools.
