When the input signal is logic 1, the display shows `H` and the loudspeaker emits a note which is an octave higher than the `low` tone. Operation of the circuit can be seen from the circuit diagram in figure 1 and the truth table in figure 2. When the input signal is 1, transistor T1 conducts taking the input of gate N2 above the trigger threshold

and the trigger output goes to logic 0. This is not our first high and low tester, but the present circuit offers something new: a seven-segment display which shows `H` or `L` and at the same time a small loudspeaker emits a corresponding tone. lf required, the loudspeaker can be switched on by means of S1. The switch can, of course, be omitted if the audio tone is always required. lf you have an ear for music, R10 and R12 may be replaced by a 220 Q resistor and a 2509 preset potentiometer so that the tone can be adjusted to your particular liking. ! When the supply is switched on, the decimal point of the display lights and indicates that the unit is ready For use. lf this is not the case, or an undefined signal is applied to the input, the display, apart from the decimal point, remains dark and the loudspeaker remains silent. lf the input signal is logic O, the display shows `L` and the loudspeaker emits a low note. When the input signal is logic 0, T1 is cut off and T2 conducts. The voltage at the inputs of gates N1 and N2 are below the trigger threshold and both outputs are logic 1, switching on transistors T3 and T4; the emitter voltage of T4 rises and cuts off diodes D4 and D5. This causes a current to flow through segments d, e and f, diodes D2 and D3, resistor R6 and transistor T3. With non-defined inputs (between 0. 8. . 2. 15 V) and an open circuit input, both input transistors are cut off, The output of N1 is...
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.....
