A four channel DMX512 controlled ringer. The Mk 3 will also incoporate a ringing supply generator, and thus be reproducible by others not in posession of the BT ringing supply Number 7. The ringer is microprocessor controlled, using a Parallax Propeller based chip, specifically the Spin Stamp, part number SSC1-IC, which is a 24 pin packaged processor with just the right amount of I/O for this project.

Spin Stamp Data Sheet. The actual Propellor data sheet and free development software is available from the Parallax web site, . Unfortunately, and most annoyingly, Parallax have discontinued the particular part as used in this project as of about August 2012. Parallax - sometimes, you suck. There are many other Propellor chip options, but the Spin Stamp is highly cost and size effective. This ringer does not actually generate the ringing voltage, as I have a genuine British ringing generator No. 7, which provides the (approx) 50VAC at 25Hz. However, it would not be difficult to add this to the ringer, and some notes on this are given later. The table below describes the DMX channel rage requirements for the ringer; it is assumed that these would be coded into a personality into a moving light capable consoole, or perhaps as memories on a conventional desk. "Battery" refers to the line being powered when not ringing. If someone picks up a phone while the battery is on, they will hear themselves speaking like on a normal phone. With battery off the phone appears to be dead. The battery is always on while the phone is ringing to detect when the phone is picked up, but for theatrical use, its generally best that the battery is off, so as not to throw the actor. When a phone is commanded to ring, it will ring until the phone is picked up. Once the handset is replaced, the phone will not ring again until the function changes. SO...
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.....
