The RC transmitter uses a potentiometer for each axis, it acts as a voltage divider sending a voltage of 0. 5V (the middle position corresponds to 2. 5V) to the analog input that is converted into a pule of 1. 2ms that is sent over RF. This module converts (amplifies and shifts) the accelerometer analog output, usually 1. 65 +/- 0. 4V to the same rang

e of the potentiometer and sends it to the transmitter instead. An op-amp in an inverting amplifier configuration is used. Vref is set manually by tuning the output to be 2. 5V (or the PWM pulse to be 1. 5 ms). However it is possible to calculate the theoretical value as follows: Note that according to the rules of a feedback op-amp the voltage on it`s inverting/non-inverting terminals tends to equalize so V(+) = V(-) and in our case = Vref. Well, this is the theoretical value, in practice we adjust the trimmer R3 until the output is 2. 5 while the accelerometer is in laying in horizontal position (has an output of 1. 65V). To build use a small proto-board following schematic. Part numbers are mentioned on schematic. Hook-up with the transmitter is described in images below and on the schematic. For accelerometer use Acc_Gyro or similar module, or build your own accelerometer break-out board. The module is mounted in a free space under antenna using double-sided foam tape best way to mount an accelerometer to avoid vibration. Note that we get +5V power for the module from the potentiometer contacts. You can test with a led that the power contacts can deliver at least 20mV, the module uses far less <5mA. Here is a close-up of the module, as you can see I did my own accelerometer break-out board, but you can buy a pre-assembled one, there are many choices. You will need an analog accelerometer for this project.
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.....
