The modulator and the demodulator (pdf < 10 kb). For the easier tuning of the modem it could have been built with potentiometers, but it was easier to reach a smaller size this way (I didn`t want to use SMD potentiometers). Unfortunately, even like this, the size is still too big, because I couldn`t get SMD boxed ICs

. Basically the size is determined by the two RCA and the DSUB-9 connectors. At testing, connecting the modem`s input and output without a radio, the modem works perfectly. With YEASU FT-xxxx and similar radios a good and stable connection can be achieved. It is especially good for remotely controlling devices with a simple radio. It is also useful for remote measurement data collection, remote control of models and robots. Unfortunately the original design with the XR2206 and XR2211 pair didn`t work because the temperature dependence of both IC are too big. They work just fine at room temperature, but they become unstable at temperatures of -10. +50 C. For the solution of the transmitter side problems a program-controlled AFSK modulator, running on AVR MCU, was built. It`s operation is very simple. The sin wave is assembled from 11. 25 degree (32 steps) peaces as the function of the FSK input. Thus, for example, for the generation of a 1200 Hz wave from 32 samples, the samples need to be delivered to one of the 8 bit ports of the AVR with 38400 Hz (2200 Hz *32 = 70400 Hz) frequency. To this port a simple R-2R (8 bites) D/A is connected with an RC low-pass filter at the end. Learning from the trials above, an entirely quartz controlled modem was built. Even though it is a non-standard modem, it still has a wide range of applications, and it is completely temperature independent. It uses three frequencies 950 Hz, 1200 Hz,...
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.....
