About the Innovator

Joshith’s Clap Count project uses a Micro:bit with a microphone to detect and count claps. The LED display shows numbers like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, continuing as more claps are detected. The game involves players taking turns clapping, with each player adding one more clap than the previous turn, making it progressively challenging. The project highlights how sound sensors can be used for interactive and fun activities.

Have you ever wondered how many claps you can do before losing track? That’s exactly what inspired me to create the Clap Count game using a Micro:bit. This interactive game challenges players to take turns clapping, with the Micro:bit displaying the count on its LED screen. It starts with one clap, then two, adding one clap each turn. The fun part? It keeps going until someone can’t keep up—testing your rhythm, memory, and endurance all at once.


At the heart of this project is the Micro:bit’s built-in microphone, which detects the sound of each clap. Each time a clap is registered, the Micro:bit updates the LED display with the next number in the sequence. The real challenge begins as the numbers grow and it becomes harder to keep up with the increasing rhythm. The code I wrote ensures accurate clap detection and smooth counting, making the game both responsive and fun to play.


Looking ahead, there are so many exciting possibilities to enhance this game. I could add a timer to create a race against the clock, introduce sound effects for milestones, or even create multiplayer modes with more complex sequences. The Clap Count game not only offers endless fun but also demonstrates how coding and sound detection can come together in a simple yet challenging activity.
