const int vccPin = 3;void setup() {
// Initialize temperature sensor pin as input
pinMode(tempSensorPin, INPUT);// Initialize voltage regulator pin as output
pinMode(vccPin, OUTPUT);
}void loop() {
// Read temperature sensor value
int tempValue = analogRead(tempSensorPin);// Convert temperature value to Celsius
float temperature = (tempValue 5.0 / 1024.0 - 0.5) 100.0;// Regulate temperature by adjusting voltage regulator output
if (temperature > 25.0) {
digitalWrite(vccPin, LOW);

import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import Adafruit_ADS1x15# Define power amplifier pin (TO-220 package)
power_amp_pin = 17# Define audio signal pin
audio_signal_pin = 23# Initialize GPIO library
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)# Initialize power amplifier pin as output
GPIO.setup(power_amp_pin, GPIO.OUT)# Initialize audio signal pin as input
GPIO.setup(audio_signal_pin, GPIO.IN)# Create an ADS1x15 ADC instance
adc = Adafruit_ADS1x15.ADS1015()while True:
# Read audio signal value
audio_value = adc.read_adc(audio_signal_pin, gain=1)# Amplify audio signal using power amplifier
if audio_value > 500:
GPIO.output(power_amp_pin, GPIO.HIGH)
else:
GPIO.output(power_amp_pin, GPIO.LOW)# Wait for 10ms
time.sleep(0.01)
