Can the sound impact sensor be used as a switch to turn on something else without the microcontroller?
(like a voice activated switch).. very sorry if this is very basic, I am very new to the circuits and sensors...
Thanks in advance

    Yes it can. go to the product page for the sensor and read the manual.

    Note that the high pulse is very short, so depending on what you want it to do you may have to latch the high output. I measured it to output a pulse of about 50 ms.
