I Just finished my newest version of the `baby 10 sequencer`. It has control voltage and gate switches. I found some problems with it, and subsequently this module. I will be posting some modifications in the next few days. In preparation of improving my baby 10 sequencer, I`ve been coming up with things to do with the CD4017. A couple weeks ago I

built the sub-oscillator out of the CD4017. That introduced me to the 2 transistor Schmitt Tigger which I borrowed from the Yusynth clock divider. I also borrowed from that same clock divider, a diode "and" gate which I modified for this project. I also chose to incorporate a "gate to trigger" circuit similar to Ken Stones Gate to tigger circuit for my reset sync input. I`m not sure how much of this module you could actually call mine, but I guess this is how you learn at first. Working out this circuit will be a big help when I move onto my all encompassing 10 step baby sequencer. possibly my next project. I came up with a cool idea too as I was trying to do the panel layout. I hate rotary switches! they are expensive and I find them to be panal hogs. There just wasn`t enough room to incorporate all the inputs, outputs, switches and LEDs I wanted in a single module width while still having that clunky 10 position rotary switch. So I came up with an idea of using a SPDT(on/off/on) switch to control the gate as well as the reset. the positions work like this (gate one/gate off/ Reset). One thing to be noted is that having more than a single switch in the reset position will cancel the reset out. This could be fixed by adding diodes but I felt that would be mostly unnecessary and would add 10 diodes the PCB, when really, all you have to do is not have 2 switches set to reset at the same time (something you don`t have to...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
