In this project, we will make a Music Rhythm LED Flash Light circuit using Microphone and BC547 on breadboard and PCB where the led strip lights will blink with the music rhythm.

The microphone will sense the music rhythm and generate an electric pulse which will amplify by the transistor and the connected led strip will start blinking.

I will share all the required details for this Music Rhythm LED Flasher project link complete circuit diagram, breadboard layout, component list, PCB Garber file, the working principle so that you can easily design this Music Rhythm LED Flash Light at home.

Step 1: Circuit Diagram

This the circuit diagram of the music rhythm LED strip.

How the music rhythm LED circuit works:

1. The music rhythm is sensed by the microphone and convert it into electric pluse.

2. Then the electric pulse fed to the base of the BC547 NPN transistor which amplifies the electric pulse signal

3. After that, the amplified signal fed to the base of the TIP122 NPN power transistor. for each positive pulse at the base, the TIP122 transistor turns on.

4. The 12V LED strip is connected with the collector of the TIP122 transistor. So when the TIP122 transistor turns on the current can flow through the 12V LED strip so the LED strip turns on. And when the TIP122 transistor turns off the current can not flow through the 12V LED strip so the LED strip turns off.

So first we convert the music rhythm to an electric pulse with a microphone. Then the signal is amplified by BC547 transistor and the amplified signal is fed to the TIP122 power transistor to turn on and turn off the LED strip as per the music rhythm.

Step 2: Make the Circuit on Breadboard

Before designing the PCB, I have designed the music rhythm LED circuit on the breadboard for testing.

Step 3: Designing the PCB

After testing the circuit on the breadboard, I started designing the PCB.
