This project has an impossible requirement or uses parts that are no longer available. It is here for reference or inspiration only. Consider it unsupported . This project displays telephone numbers decoded from tones. Specifically, telephone touchtones. Dual Tone Multifrequency (DTMF) tones. This has nothing to do with CallerID. A microphone pi

cks up the tones, a preamplifier boosts the signals, an SSI-202 DTMF chip decodes the tones, a Basic Stamp acts as an interface to an LCD display and also provides RS-232 ³ serial output. Don`t try to build this project. It`s too expensive to do it this way, and some parts are obsolete. Dave Schmidt is making a reasonably priced DTMF decoder with similar features. Check out his web page: and see what his tone decoders are like. They look really good. If you`d like to buy a tone decoder, please don`t write me. If you`d like to build your own tone decoder from scratch , you might have trouble finding the SSI-202 chip. Radio Shack used to sell them. B. G. Micro, used to sell them and might still have a datasheet, but no stock of the part. Silicon Systems, maker of the SSI-202 chip, has been dissolved by Texas Instruments. If you have access to Mitel 8870 DTMF chips, you could use it in this circuit if you change the pins to match the corresponding functions. I have not done it, so I can`t help you. Due to popular demand, I have included a modification that allows direct connection to the phone lines. I must say, however, that I have not tried the modification(I have been told it does work) and it`s probably against the laws of certain countries, states, provinces, townships, and telephone companies to connect home-made devices to the phone lines. The software for this project is only a bare-bones program. The smart people...
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.....
