This circuit is onlyreader. It`s not programmer. You CANNOT refill, hack or any illegal thing, the telecards. The purposeof this circuit is for you to understand how a microcontroller readsthetelecard, forbuilding other electronic circuits such as`electronic safety lock` or`Checker for how much units (credits) leftin the card` etc. This reader can

read the contained memory of the telecard. These cards have 64 bytes ( 512 bits) of eeprom memory that the first 8 bytes ( 64 bits ) arewrite protected. They areonly for reading. This circuit does not include any lcd display, to keep the cost low, but the data can be viewed to any PC system using the RS232 port, by the Hyper terminal software. The circuit based on AT90S2313 AVR microcontroller from atmel, programmed with telecard. hex and telecard. eep. The converter from + - 12V of RS232 to TTL and from TTL to + - 12V is MAX232. When you build the circuit ( i think its very simple ), connect the reader with RS232 port of the PC, run the Hyper terminal software ( start programs - accessories communications Hyper terminal ) and set the baud rate to 19200 bps 8 none 1. If you use a telecard holder, usually this holderincludes a switch that is pressed when you insert the card. You can use this switch, to make the reading of the card, automatic. The 1st (85) and 2th (FC) byte it`s the country. The 3th (0B) is the units (3000) and 4th is the customer (OTE). These results are fromtesting of 50 different Greek telecards and i don`t know if they are correct. The 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th bytes are the serial number of the card in hex form. If you convert the 4A037AA0 hex ( bytes 8 to 5 ) to decimal, you will get the number 1241741984 ( look at the serial number of the black telecard above ).
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.....
