iPod and the Auto Sound System

Image
The iPod story seems to be that of a charmed life. If you haven't taken a look around there are all kinds of devices and accessories that are created in order to use right along with the wildly popular and successful iPod product offered by Apple. In fact, I can't think of a better coup for Apple to have pulled off against the giant PC industry, even Microsoft's new product the Zune is having a great deal of difficulty even catching up to the sales that iPod seems to have no trouble garnering. The success is something that may define explanation but could have a great deal to do with the equally popular accessories and adornments that are made for each and every iPod product. You might be wondering exactly what this has to do with auto sound systems but those are just another of the many great iPod accessories that can be found in the market place of today. Seriously! Even some car manufacturers are having upgrades that include iPod adapters that allow drivers to play music...

Building a Noisy Cricket Mk II Amp and Mini Speaker Cabinet

Image
I quite like the look of the Noisy Cricket Mk II amp from Beavis Audio (http://www.beavisaudio.com/projects/NoisyCricket/), and I happened to have a wooden box lying around that looked like it would work great as a 6” speaker cabinet, hence today’s project. (EDIT: Actually it turns out the Mk I and the MK II are the same. The only difference is the PCB design, and since I'm using veroboard, that's irrelevant.) The Noisy Cricket is a little 1/2 Watt guitar amplifier that fits into a standard Hammond-like enclosure (such as the one I used here: http://diystrat.blogspot.com/2013/04/building-modified-ea-tremolo-pedal-on.html). It uses a MPF102 or a 2N5951 transistor as a preamp channel and an LM386 as the power amp. It’s also powered from a standard 9v guitar pedal power supply (or even a battery). What’s not to like? As I usually do, I’m going to use Veroboard for this. A few people have already done layouts for it, and I decided to go with this one: Which can be found here: htt...

Case study implemetation and examples of ProfiBus

Image
                                       PROFIBUS                                       Introduction : Profibus stands process field bus. it is mainly used in automation technology . Profibus is an industry-standard communications bus protocol used in process automation and sensor networks using programmable logic controllers. Profibus is a protocol for field bus communication in automation technology. Profibus links automation systems and controllers with decentralized field devices such as sensors, actuators, and encoders. Profibus networks exchange data using a single bus cable. Profibus is a vendor-independent, open field bus standard for a wide range of applications in manufacturing and process autom...

Build a Power Pulse Using by LM350 and NE555 Circuit Diagram

Image
This is a Simple Power Pulse Using by LM350 and NE555 Circuit Diagram . This circuit can use to drive lamp,power LED,DC motor etc. Adjust R5 for output amplitude.Adjust R1 for output power . Power Pulse Circuit Diagram The LM350 is adjustable 3-terminal positive voltage regulators is capable of supplying in excess of 3A over a 1.2V to 33V output range.This circuit requires 5-15V power supply.

FPGA RC Servo and Stepper motor control in Verilog

Image
For those interested in reproducing this example: The board is called “EP2C5 Mini Board” and has a EP2C5T144C8 Cyclone II FPGA on it I used a standard, 9grams micro RC Servo. I used a 28BYJ-48 stepper motor and it’s driver (you can purchase these as a bundle for very cheap on dealextreme or banggood) I used the free edition of Quartus II from Altera, version 13.0 SP 1 (be careful, later versions do not support Cyclone II FPGAs anymore) I created a simple project, pasted all this code as a single module (it would of course be cleaner to separate the RC Servo and stepper control code into independent modules) made the “Top level entity” in the General configuration page equal to “counter” (the name of my module) used the Pin Planner to assign the inputs/outputs as follows: [ ]

AM and FM Radio with LA1800 Portable

Image
This portable AM and FM radio circuit is designed using the LA1800 IC and some other external components. As you can see in this circuit diagram the LA1800 manufactured by Sanyo Semiconductors , require few additional components. The LA1800 am FM portable radio circuit needs to be powered from a 3 volt DC power supply circuit. AM and FM Radio with LA1800 Portable Circuit Diagram You can use an 3 volt battery. This radio receiver circuit has a low current dissipation of 5.6mA for FM band and 3.2mA for AM band .Also the output signal is driven into earphone speakers , but you can use an additional speaker ( in that case you need to connect an additional small power audio amplifier).

Stereo audio player using the PIC32 MCP4822 microSD card and the MDDFS library

Image
Oscilloscope screen capture of output from the audio player Top - left channel Bottom - right channel Using the PIC32MX250F128B, I decided to make a simple audio player. I wanted to play back good quality audio from a large memory space - a microSD card. So, I made this WAV player that can play back 16-bit 44.1kHz WAV files with 12-bit stereo audio output. Of course that's not all it can play back. It is programmed for automatic period configuration so that the period is set on the fly based on the song sample rate. It can play back both 8-bit and 16-bit mono and stereo audio files and I have tested from 8kHz 8-bit mono to 44.1kHz 16-bit stereo. The player itself does not include an audio amplifier to drive speakers but can drive earphones. I've used an external stereo speaker for testing. The hardware is fairly simple! Using the Microchip Memory Disk Drive File System (MDDFS) library, and my previous work using the MCP4822 dual 12-bit DAC, integrating these components to make ...

3 and 30V power 3amp

Image
This power supply is meant as an auxiliary or as a permanent power supply for all common circuits based on a stabilized DC voltage between 3 and 30V provided that the consumption does not exceed 3A. Of course this power supply unit can also be used for other purposes. Be replacing the trimmer by a potentiometer, it may even be used as an adjustable power supply unit. A good quality heatsink must be used. Circuit diagram: 3 TO 30 Volt 3 Ampere DC Power Supply Circuit Diagram Parts list: R1 = 8.2K R2 = 2.2K R3 = 680R R4 = 1K R5 = 82K R6 = 0.18R/5W C1 = 470p C2 = 100nF-63V C3 = 100nF-63V C4 = 100uF-63V C5 = 10KuF-60V D1-D6 = 6.6A Q1 = MJ3001 (Darligton) IC1 = UA723D Specifications: Overload protected Sshort-circuit stable Output current: max. 3A Output ripple voltage: 0.5mV Output voltage: adjustable from 3 to 30V, stabilized Input voltage: 9 to 30V AC (depending on the desired output voltage)
